Commercial Law Questions

It is widely recognised there is a great need need for SMEs to have better access to affordable, jargon free legal services.

Without access to affordable access legal services most businesses are often put off taking the necessary steps that will protect them and their assets now and in the future. It is the frequently avoidable legal mistakes made by small businesses which end up costing them dearly later on.

Recent You Gov research highlighted that SMEs in the UK lose over approximately £13 billion a year as a result of failing to take adequate legal advice and legal steps to protect their assets. These include contracts and agreements, intellectual property, regulations, HR and employment disputes.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy in the UK, access to the law needs to be quick, convenient and more importantly affordable. The Expert Answers Platform makes access to legal experts both convenient and affordable and within reach of all.

A recent news release by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Nesta (the Innovation Charity) in July 2019. Highlights the growing problem of access for SMEs in the UK.

2/5 of small and medium businesses in England and Wales believe that legal advice is reserved for big businesses or those that can afford it. As many as 2.4 million SMEs could be falling into a “legal gap”. 8/10 think it should be easy to check if a problem can be resolved prior to going through the legal system.

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. From helping complete a new lease to taking on the first member of staff, sound legal advice is crucial if businesses are to succeed. It’s clear that too many small businesses struggle to access & afford the legal support they need”.Anna Bradley, chair of the SRA board, July 2019

“It is deeply worrying that so many small business owners feel they can’t make use of our legal system. England and Wales have one of the best legal systems in the world and yet we are witnessing a “legal gap” between those businesses that have the wealth and knowledge of the system to access it, and those that feel they don’t.

"With 5.6 million SMEs in the UK, employing 16.3 million people, it’s vital they can get the legal advice they need when they need it, how they need it and at a price they can afford”.Chris Gorst, Head of Better Markets, Nesta Challenges, July 2019

If you are a business owner Expert Answers can assist you with your legal requirements below is a small selection of the areas we can answer questions on.

Typical commercial legal advice includes:

• Contract disputes
• Director disputes
• Lease and property agreements
• Intellectual property rights
• Compliance
• Employment rights

Legal Aid

Legal Aid is designed to help people access free legal advice especially those without financial means. Unfortunately, the Legal aid budget has been cut making it more and more difficult for people to receive state-funded legal advice.

Depending on the area you live in the UK, your individual circumstances and criteria you may be required to make a contribution towards the legal costs of your case. Some areas of law are no longer covered by legal aid, which has reduced access to justice for some of the most vulnerable in our society.

Legal Aid Eligibility Criteria?

• Protecting yourself or your child from abuse or harassment
• Some types of clinical negligence
• Poor quality care you or a family member are getting due to age, disability or special educational needs

Free Legal Advice Buyer Beware

How many times have you posted your question on "free legal advice" websites or forums, where you may or may not get an answer. You get answers from bar room lawyers or if you are lucky read from a script by a student in a call centre. With your confidential information visible for the world to see on the internet. Days, weeks have passed and you are probably still waiting for your answer.

Why waste time and energy or take a big risk that the answers you get, at best, are wrong or at worst will create an even bigger issue if you act on the advice you have been given.

Before you post your question on websites offering free legal advice be sure you know who they are, what they are offering and where they are based.

We all want to save money but sometimes the amount you save for the risk involved is too great, why take a chance with something as important as the law. Get advice from a reputable service.

Remember, the legal advice you get is often only worth what you have paid for it. Here is some food for thought. Why would a highly trained and experienced professional want to give their services for free (would you)? Why would they give their valuable time and knowledge away for free when they can get paid to share that knowledge.

This is why you need to be wary of sites offering services for free, there is quite often a catch.

Next time you go to post your information on free legal advice websites ask yourself... Whats in it for them? and what do you have to give up in return?
