Your Business Isn’t Too Small for Legal Consulting

All people and all businesses deal with legal issues on a regular basis.

Think about it. Do you ever find yourself asking – What happens if I ‘break my contract? How does this new law affect me? Does this agreement ‘look good’?

Often – when people find themselves at a legal crossroads, when they need answers, when their google searches prove fruitless and they don’t know what to do – they shrug their shoulders, roll the dice, and decide to do what ‘feels right.’ Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Business isn’t about taking risks; it’s about managing them. Sometimes, the best way to decide how to manage those risks is to get advice from a lawyer.  

Traditional Law Firms Struggle to Handle “Small” Clients with “Small” Questions

Maybe you’ve encountered a “small” legal issue. Maybe you mustered up the courage to call your local brick-and-mortar law firm down the street. When you told them “I just need to know what this law means when it says … ” they said, “sorry, we can’t take you on as a client at this time.”

You should know the reason for your rejection probably doesn’t have much to do with you. Someone at that firm probably knows it would take so much time to get you set up as a client, it wouldn’t be worth the small amount the firm could charge to answer your question, which might only take a few minutes of research or none at all.

They’d rather wait for the big fish to come along than have their administrative staff tied up managing several clients with “small problems.”

This model is outdated.
