Affordable Legal Consultation Tailored to Your Home Business
Hiring a law firm for your home-based business can be expensive. And with DIY legal websites, you may not know the best actions to take or have access to consultation with a lawyer when you need it. LegalShield’s Home Business Supplement provides access to a provider law firm for a wide variety of business legal matters. You’ll receive a year’s worth of unlimited consultation and a multitude of actual services for around the cost of a single contract review elsewhere.
You might be self-employed, but you’re not on your own. Get legal assistance that’s tailored to your unique needs, enabling you to focus on what you do best – running your home business.
Advice, Consultation and Research
Contracts and other business legal documents can be complicated and may include language that is not in your best interest. A provider lawyer can review business legal documents. Every month, you can submit up to 4 documents of up to 25 pages in length pertaining to both in and out-of-province business legal matters. (If you need more than four documents per month, a flat fee of $75 for each additional review applies.)
*Doesn’t include documents that are related to administrative proceedings and lawsuits.
Designated Consultation
A provider lawyer will advise you on business legal matters including tax, patent, trademark, copyright, or intellectual property. Receive up to 3 annual designated phone consultations each year, of up to 30 minutes in length.
Letters or Phone Calls
A provider lawyer can provide further help with business legal matters by sending letters or making phone calls on behalf of your home business. Receive any combination of 12 letters or phone calls annually for both in province and out of province business legal matters, each on a unique business matter, with 1 follow-up communication if a response is received from a third party. (Additional letters or phone calls, beyond the plan limit, can be obtained for a $75 flat fee each.)
