In today’s fast-paced business environment, legal services are not just necessary; they are essential to protecting your business interests and ensuring long-term success. Contracts, agreements, legal disputes, intellectual property concerns, and regulatory compliance all require specialized legal expertise. However, seeking legal help on an ad hoc basis can be prohibitively expensive. A single contract review, legal notice, or intellectual property advice session could cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. This is where prepaid legal services offer a smart, budget-friendly solution.
Our prepaid legal plans are designed for business owners and entrepreneurs who need ongoing legal support without the hassle of unpredictable costs. By paying a flat monthly fee billed annually, you get access to a wide range of legal services, including contract drafting and review, legal notices, legal research, advice on intellectual property, and general legal consultations. This ensures you always have a legal expert by your side, ready to tackle any issue that arises.
What Our Prepaid Legal Services Include
Our prepaid attorney services package provides comprehensive support across key areas of business law. Here’s what you’ll get each month:
1. Contract Drafting – Up to 5 Documents Per Month
Contracts form the foundation of any business transaction, partnership, or agreement. Whether you’re entering into a new deal with a vendor, securing the services of a consultant, or laying down the terms for an employee incentive plan, having well-drafted contracts is crucial. Poorly written contracts can lead to misunderstandings, disputes, and even litigation down the line.
With our prepaid legal services, you can have up to five contracts drafted each month by our experienced attorneys. There is no limit to the number of pages—whether your agreement is a straightforward two-pager or a complex multi-section document, we’ve got you covered.
Here are some examples of agreements we can draft for you:
- Business Agreements: Covers a broad range of commercial agreements, including partnership agreements, joint venture agreements, and shareholder agreements.
- Service Agreements: Establishes the terms and conditions under which services are provided or received, such as consulting agreements, vendor contracts, and client agreements.
- Master Service Agreements (MSAs): These govern ongoing relationships between businesses and outline the terms for future work orders or contracts.
- Terms and Conditions: Essential for any business offering services or products online, these documents outline the rules users must agree to in order to use your website, app, or platform.
- Employment Contracts: Protect your business by ensuring that employees clearly understand their roles, responsibilities, and rights. This can include Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Non-Compete Agreements.
- Equity Incentive Plans (ESOPs): If you’re offering equity to employees or partners, we’ll help you design and draft Employee Stock Option Plans that reflect your goals and ensure compliance with applicable laws.
- Lease Agreements: Whether leasing office space or equipment, a solid lease agreement helps avoid disputes and ensures both parties are on the same page.
- Distribution Agreements: Establish the terms of distribution for your products, whether through agents, distributors, or retailers.
Our team of attorneys will work closely with you to understand your needs and draft agreements that reflect the unique requirements of your business.
2. Contract Review – Up to 5 Documents Per Month
Reviewing contracts before signing is just as important as drafting them. Legal language can often be confusing or deceptive, and missing out on key details could expose your business to significant risks. Our prepaid legal subscription allows you to have up to five contracts reviewed by our attorneys each month.
We will thoroughly examine the following types of documents, among others:
- Supplier Agreements: Before entering into agreements with suppliers or vendors, we’ll review the terms to ensure fair and favorable conditions.
- Franchise Agreements: If you’re considering franchising your business or becoming a franchisee, we’ll ensure the terms are in your best interest.
- Licensing Agreements: Licensing deals, whether for intellectual property, software, or other assets, must be ironclad. We’ll check for any clauses that could limit your control or profitability.
- Loan Agreements: If you’re taking out a business loan or extending credit to another party, it’s crucial to understand the terms and obligations.
- Shareholder Agreements: Protect your interests by having us review any agreement that governs the relationships between the shareholders of your company.
- Confidentiality Agreements: Also known as Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), these protect your business’s confidential information. We’ll ensure they’re effective and enforceable.
Just like with contract drafting, there is no limit to the number of pages in each document we review. We will flag any potential red flags, suggest revisions, and explain the legal implications of each clause so you can make informed decisions.
3. Legal Notices – Up to 3 Per Month
From time to time, you may need to send out a formal legal notice. Whether it’s to demand payment, terminate a contract, or address a breach of terms, having a well-drafted legal notice is critical to protecting your rights.
With our prepaid legal plan, you can send up to three legal notices per month. We’ll draft and format the notice to ensure it complies with legal standards and effectively communicates your demands or concerns.
Common examples of legal notices include:
- Demand Letters: These are formal requests for payment or fulfillment of contractual obligations.
- Termination Notices: If you need to terminate a contract or business relationship, we’ll ensure the notice is compliant with the terms of your agreement and applicable law.
- Cease and Desist Letters: These are issued to prevent another party from continuing certain actions that are infringing on your rights, such as using your intellectual property or disclosing confidential information.
Note: If you require the legal notice to be sent via post instead of email, postal charges will be paid separately. This ensures that your notice is delivered in the most appropriate manner for the situation at hand.
4. Legal Research – 1 Topic Per Month
Legal questions can be complex, and sometimes you need detailed research to understand the full scope of a particular issue. Our prepaid attorney services include one legal research topic per month. Whether you need insights into a specific law, regulatory compliance requirements, or the potential legal implications of a new business strategy, we’ll conduct in-depth research and provide you with clear, actionable advice.
Some examples of legal research topics include:
- Industry-Specific Regulations: Understanding how new regulations affect your industry, such as changes to environmental laws or data protection standards.
- Corporate Governance: Researching the best practices for corporate governance in your jurisdiction to ensure your business is compliant and well-structured.
- International Business Law: If you’re expanding into new markets, we can help you understand the local laws that might impact your operations.
Our legal research is thorough and tailored to your business’s specific needs, giving you the insights you need to move forward confidently.
5. Legal Advice – 3 Sessions Per Month
Sometimes, you just need quick, reliable advice from an attorney. With our prepaid legal services, you get up to three legal advice sessions each month. Whether you’re dealing with a potential dispute, trying to understand a legal obligation, or just need guidance on a new opportunity, we’re here to help.
Some areas where we can provide advice include:
- Employment Law: Guidance on hiring, firing, workplace disputes, and ensuring compliance with local employment laws.
- Corporate Law: Advice on structuring your business, managing shareholder relationships, and corporate governance.
- Dispute Resolution: Whether through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, we’ll advise you on the best path forward for resolving business disputes.
6. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Advice
Intellectual property is one of your most valuable business assets. Protecting your brand, inventions, designs, and creative works is crucial to maintaining your competitive edge. With our prepaid legal services, you get expert IPR advice tailored to your business’s needs.
We can assist with:
- Trademark Registration and Protection: Ensuring your brand name, logo, and other trademarks are properly protected.
