This scheme provides small business owners with professional legal guidance to help manage the complexities of running a company.
Who it's for
This program is specifically designed for small business owners. It is intended for those who may not have the internal resources to maintain a full-time legal team but require professional oversight to manage their business operations safely.
What you get
You can access free consultations to help you navigate various legal challenges that arise during daily operations. The support covers several key areas, including:
- Contracts: Getting professional guidance on the documents that govern your business relationships.

The catch to know
The primary limitation to keep in mind is that the scheme is not unlimited. There is a limit to the number of consultation sessions you can access per year, so it is important to prioritize your most pressing legal needs.
