Who do we cover?
Legal protection is particularly useful for businesses with employees, but who don’t have legal expertise in-house. To work out if it’s for you, ask yourself these questions?
- Have I not pursued something because of cost?
- Who do I turn to if I need legal advice?
- Can my business afford to pay for an employment dispute, what if it couldn’t?
- What is the cost to protect me?
