At some point all businesses, however big or small will need a lawyer. The two main issues are firstly to know when you need a lawyer and secondly, how to find the right one. Finding a lawyer can be a real challenge. How do you know how to find one, a search online brings up endless lawyers, but how do you know if they have the right skills and experience with affordable fees? Working with the wrong lawyer can put your business in peril, for small businesses, with small legal budgets choosing the right lawyer is crucial.
Some of the top reasons businesses need layers are:
- Debt recovery – if the money you’re owed is more than the £5000 limit for making a claim through the small claims court then you’re going to need some legal advice about how you can recover customers or clients that owe you money.
- A dispute resolution – this can be anything from a contract dispute, a partnership dispute
- Defamation
- When you are threatened with legal action
- Employment issues – this can include employee disputes and contracts
- Contract issues –freelancer and service contracts, landlord and tenant, business contracts
- Intellectual property disputes
- Bankruptcy and insolvency
