Subscription legal service for growing businesses

With early-stage businesses encountering more legal and compliance hurdles than ever, Lodders has developed a new subscription service to provide companies with access to same-day commercial legal advice on demand.

The new offering – CLEAR – aims to provide effective, affordable legal advice covering commercial law, commercial contracts, and intellectual property. Suitable for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to well-established firms, CLEAR has been designed for companies that need legal advice from time to time but have limited budgets for legal spend or lack in-house support. Stuart Price, partner and head of Lodders’ Commercial Law team explains:

“Commercial and contract law be a minefield. Increasingly, we are seeing smaller businesses facing challenges with their legal arrangements, whether these are non-existent or ineffective contracts that are leaving them open to disputes with customers or suppliers, or unintentional infringement of other companies’ intellectual property. CLEAR has been designed to enable business owners to protect and grow their businesses through solid and responsive legal advice at a fixed monthly price they can afford.

“With unlimited calls per month, monthly contract reviews, and a range of essential legal documents to choose from, CLEAR gives our clients access to bespoke advice, benefiting from our technical excellence, commercial insight, and a common-sense attitude. Businesses can reduce their exposure to chance by letting us evaluate and manage their legal and commercial risk.”

Subscription legal service

CLEAR offers three different levels of subscription options and gives businesses access to a range of legal documents from non-disclosure agreements and terms and conditions to IP licences and supplier due diligence questionnaires.

“It is essential that businesses do not just muddle through with their legal documents.” Stuart adds. “A healthy business is built on strong foundations, and the importance of expert legal support when developing and growing a business cannot be overstated. CLEAR enables businesses to access quick-fire support whilst having certainty over their spend. For early-stage businesses that may be unsure about whether they require legal support, our free business health questionnaire is a great place to start, providing a holistic overview of their overall business set-up and areas for improvement.”
