Running a business can be complicated. Adding employees to the mix can create additional complexity and raise a variety of potential legal issues. LegalShield is here to provide access to employment lawyers with years of experience helping small business owners navigate the complications of being an employer.
At some point, any business owner with employees is likely to have legal questions. If you join LegalShield, you’ll be able to consult with an employment lawyer for an unlimited amount of minutes on an unlimited number of business legal matters, particularly around employee rights. Don’t stress about employment law—call your provider lawyer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
