Press Release Body: Small Businesses hold the highest risk of facing extortionate
and potentially devastating legal action due to poorly prepared legal documentation,
warn lawyers at Net Lawman.
After revelations from business insurer Hiscox that nearly two thirds of smaller
businesses are failing to adequately protect themselves against possible employee
legal action, Net Lawman are advising small businesses to review their legal
documentation to ensure that it is totally fit for purpose.
Often, small business owners are reluctant to enlist the help of a solicitor to
develop their legal documentation in the early stages of the business due to high
costs. In fact, a recent survey by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) revealed
that nearly 80% of small businesses deal with all employment paperwork without any
external help or advice and that a third didn't taken on new staff because they were
concerned over the complexity of employment law.
In an attempt to soften the blow for small businesses and to assist them in ensuring
they have the appropriate employment documentation and policies in place, Net Lawman
are introducing a vast array of new employment related documents available through
their online legal documents website http://www.netlawman.co.uk?sc=582.
"Online documents from a trusted source is by far the most cost effective and
efficient way for small businesses to obtain up to date legal documentation,
however it is important to ensure that any documents purchased are completely fit
for purpose" explains Miriam Taylor of Net Lawman.
When evaluating an appropriate online provider, Taylor recommends that business
owners ensure that the documents obtained are written in plain English and are not
bombarded with complex legal jargon which could result in the business owner missing
something vital, leaving them vulnerable to legal action in the future,
Net Lawman are highly acclaimed providers of a wide range of legal documents and
offer several comprehensive employment packages which include a selection of
employment contracts and well as recruitment, grievance, disciplinary and redundancy
documents. For more information visit http://www.netlawman.co.uk?sc=582
