Lawyers For Your Business

poppin_2

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has used this scheme and what it entails. I understand that you get an initial 30 minute "free" meeting. However if during the meeting we ask questions, if then the lawyer goes a way and comes up with the answers are we expected to pay for the time which the lawyer spent outside of the meeting? I was told about this by a businesslink employee and he suggested that any work carried out by the lawyer outside of the meeting would not be chargeable, but I would really like to hear from someone who has used this to clarify.

Thanks All.

Id really ask each lawyer firm. I know if you join some trade associations they will offer advise free.

I believe solicitors do charge for the time they spend thinking about your case, personally I take a newspaper in with me!

You can take out commercial legal expense cover out with your insurance provider for a nominal amount. A lot of small business policies actually include it free of charge and failing that most policies have a telephone number which you can ring for free legal advice about your business which is answered by solicitors.

So your best bet would be to ask your current Insurer if you have free legal advice on your policy and / or legal expense cover
