If you are in small business, the cost of having access to a lawyer can seem totally prohibitive because of the scale of the budget for these services and what most small businesses can reasonable afford to outlay on legal services.  If you would like a supplier agreement drawn up for example, with a traditional law firm this could cost five or six thousand dollars or more depending on the complexity and the amount of time involved in the drafting a document like this.  However, some solutions are beginning to emerge in relation to the needs of small businesses.  Small businesses will often have a legal question which, if accurately answered, will warn them of an impending problem and assist them to prevent an absolute disaster for the business or enable a small business to take advantage of an opportunity which would otherwise not be available because of the uncertainty surrounding a legal question.

Small business can have legal questions on a diverse range of areas of the law, from employment to contract law, property, intellectual property and a range of other commercial issues which regularly come up but often small businesses feel that they do not have the financial resources available to procure a lawyer who can assist them.  This means that sometimes small business owners will stumble blindly through or attempt to represent themselves in relation to legal matters where it really does require the assistance of a licensed and qualified professional to get the best result.   If you are a small business and you would like some questions answered about the law and the legal system, we have small business lawyers available online now to assist you with any type of legal inquiry which you may have.   Please do not hesitate to contact us using any of the contact methods available on this site.
