Whether you have a quick question about employment law or you’re dealing with a complicated Workers’ Comp issue, consulting with an experienced lawyer is always a good first step. That said, many small businesses shy away from contacting lawyers because their hourly fees can be cost-prohibitive. If you’re a LegalShield member, you can consult with an employment lawyer for an unlimited number of minutes on an unlimited number of business legal matters for one low monthly fee. Also, your provider lawyer can draft a letter or make a call on your behalf to seek resolution of employment matters.

Employment contracts, policy handbooks, employee benefits and other documents

Another important benefit of a LegalShield membership is that it allows you to have your provider lawyer review documents and draft contracts. Depending on the type of plan you choose, a designated number of document reviews are included each month at no additional charge.

  • Concerned about whether your employment contract is written correctly? Send it to your provider law firm.
  • Have an employee handbook you need reviewed? Upload it through our app.
  • Received a government notice that you can’t decipher? Submit it—it’s included in your fee.

If you need new documents drafted, you can hire your provider lawyer for 25% off their standard hourly rates to save money and get the protection you need.

Lawyer representation that protects your business

Even if you or your business has done nothing wrong in your view, disgruntled employees may file a claim for discrimination or an action for wrongful termination. And once a case is filed, you’re forced to defend yourself.

Your provider lawyer can defend you in lawsuits covered under your plan. If you have our Small Business Legal Plus or Small Business Legal Pro Plans, an additional trial defense add-on for only $14.95/month is available, saving you hundreds of dollars for trial defense. Additional hours are available under the 25% off preferred member discount.

With LegalShield, you’ll rest easy knowing that if the worst-case scenario unfolds and you find yourself in court, you’ll have access to a provider lawyer.
