Most companies look for a lawyer once the problem already exists: a claim has arrived, an employee is disputing a dismissal, a partner has stopped paying. At that stage a lawyer limits the damage. Ongoing legal support exists so that things never get that far.
Corporate housekeeping
Articles, shareholder resolutions, the director’s powers, the entries in the register: these documents have to agree with one another. A mismatch stays invisible for years, until a bank, an investor or a buyer needs them.
A system of contracts
A company that writes every contract from scratch takes a new risk every time. A few well-considered templates for suppliers, clients and staff remove the largest part of the legal work in advance.
Employment relations
Employment contracts, internal rules, job descriptions and the termination procedure are the area where a formal mistake most often turns into a dispute. Order here protects both sides.
A compliance calendar
Tax deadlines, reporting, licence renewals, personal-data protection: each has its date, and each missed date comes back as a fine. One calendar that somebody actually watches is far cheaper than a series of corrections.
A lawyer who knows the company sees the problem before it starts.
We offer small and medium-sized companies legal support on a retainer basis: a permanent contact who knows your business and works without the cost of an in-house legal department. Get in touch to choose the format.
