The In-House Counsel Legal Plan.
The In-House Counsel Legal Plan
“Let me call my lawyer first”
“yes I have a lawyer, he will be at the meeting”
“yes I have a lawyer that is up to speed with my business, send him through the contract for review and let’s get this deal closed”
At Cunningham Solicitors, we know what it’s like at the early stages of starting a business. The budget is tight and more often than not you can’t afford legal advice. I’ve heard time and time again, entrepreneurs frequently sign investment deals, seek to license their creations, or hire on an employee without ever having consulted a lawyer. I certainly get it, because I have been there when I needed accountancy advice in my first startup. Invariably, endless Google searches ensue with the net result being you are often more confused than when you started. That’s precisely why I promised myself if I ever started a law practice, it would be different and offer an affordable and flexible approach to legal services for aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, and more established businesses that want an affordable approach to legal services. Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of any economy and I am passionate about helping startups navigate their legal obligations at the start of their journey and hopefully beyond.
The In-House Legal Plan for Startups and Entrepreneurs that:
•Want to be proactive and plan their legal strategy
•Want unlimited email access to a business solicitor with a background in entrepreneurship
•Want to speak to a Solicitor about the legalities of a new business venture
•Want to know when they should obtain a trademark for their business
•Do not want to spend multiple thousands of euros on legal advice.
•Want an overall peace of mind to ensure that their business is legally sound!
•Want to say
“Let me call my lawyer first”
“yes I have a lawyer, he will be at the meeting”
“yes I have a lawyer that is up to speed with my business, send him through the contract for review, and let’s get this deal closed”
