LegalAdvice.ie for Business - the philosophy:

1. As new legislation constantly appears, the demand for sound legal and business advice by techno and other SME's continues despite the slowdown. The focus is shifting however, to proactive counsel that can save companies money, add visible benefit to their business, and help them survive in these difficult times. This is what LegalAdvice.ie offers your company.

2. Traditionally, large law firms are retained by inward-bound multinationals while small or growing companies tend to regard lawyers and consultants as expensive overheads to be avoided until investors arrive to do the due diligence.

3. At LegalAdvice.ie, we believe there is a gap in the professional services market that we aim to fill, by marketing our services in a way that makes sense to entrepreneurs. Too often, many issues that should be addressed by a growing SME are ignored as too costly and complicated to confront now. We have listed some of these areas on the page "LegalAdvice.ie for Business ".

4. Our experience in business shows clearly that entrepreneurs would use lawyers to increase business efficiency, and avoid conflict or litigation in the future, provided the lawyer understands their business process. Their only provisos are value for money, and the drain on their executive time.

5. Our commitment is to provide your company with sound legal and business advice that will SAVE YOUR COMPANY TIME AND MONEY. We believe that by offering a proactive and common sense approach to your legal affairs, we will IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF YOUR BUSINESS. For more information, click on The Service Package

1. Good legal advice should not only be available to those few with deep pockets. Justice and Fair Play should be available to all, but sadly that does not always seem to be the case. At LegalAdvice.ie we will give you an honest and accurate appraisal of your case, and let you decide if you wish to pursue it

2. LegalAdvice.ie gives you access to top legal experts, and ensures that the advice you receive is practical, affordable and understandable. For more information on our client service, please click on The Service package.

3. If someone else would be better dealing with your situation e.g. a support organisation, charity or government agency, LegalAdvice.ie will direct you to the right people. We will brief them about your situation, and supply a contact name and number for you at no cost.

4. After initial consultation, and before you become a client, you will be given a copy of our Terms of Business. This paper sets out the conditions on which LegalAdvice.ie will act for you, and set out the costs involved. We do this to prevent any nasty shocks regarding your chances of success, or the costs involved in taking the case. To see a copy of our standard Terms of Business, click on the link.
