Day-to-Day Business Law

Ashton Legal is the first call for a number of businesses that are not large enough to employ a lawyer but large enough to keep running into legal questions.

The value is in the short conversation. Does this letter need a response? Is this clause normal? Can we do this? Often the answer takes five minutes and no file is opened. When the answer is that it does need work, at least you found out before it became expensive.

• Everyday questions about contracts, staff, customers and suppliers
• A first read of anything that arrives looking official
• Company and governance housekeeping
• Triage: whether a matter needs a lawyer, and if so, which one

This is a de facto in-house counsel offering without the cost of an in-house lawyer. If it turns out to be outside what I do, you get told that, and a recommendation.

When to call: whenever the question occurs to you.

The first conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation. Get in touch and you will get a straight answer about where you stand.
