1 in 3 UK businesses will face a legal issue this year
Legal issues are not a “worst case scenario” for most businesses, they are a normal part of business.
Research by the Legal Services Board shows that around one third of UK SMEs (Small and medium-sized enterprises) experience at least one legal issue every year, from employment disputes to contract problems and property concerns.
How TE Business Assist helps
Only 25% of SMEs seek legal advice when problems arise
Despite how common legal issues are, most businesses don’t have regular access to legal support or know who to turn to when something goes wrong.
Research shows that only around a quarter of SMEs seek professional legal advice when they encounter a legal issue. Many rely on outdated documents or online templates,
increasing risk rather than reducing it. TE Business Assist addresses this, providing your business with access to ongoing, proactive legal support, rather than just reactive advice.
TE Business Assist provides ongoing, proactive legal support, not just reactive advice.
You benefit from:
- A partner led legal team working in close partnership with you and your business
- A dedicated point of contact
- Regular legal and non-legal updates
- Webinars, training and ongoing business and legal insight to keep you up to date on latest legal developments
Early legal advice reduces cost, stress and disruption
When disputes arise, delays usually increase costs; often caused by a number of factors, ranging from not recognising the issue before it is too late, to simply choosing to ignore it due to the fear that the cost of legal advice to resolve the issue will be too high.
However businesses that seek early advice are far more likely to resolve issues quickly, thereby avoiding escalation and reducing additional legal costs.
With TE Business Assist you have:
- A relationship with your legal team, a close partnership with a legal firm that understands your business
- A clear understanding of your position
- Preferential pricing on legal advice should a dispute arise
So when something goes wrong, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re already supported by a law firm who is working in partnership with you and who understands your business.
TE Business Assist ensures your premises support your business — not limit it
Employment issues are one of the most common causes of SME disputes
Employment law changes constantly, and even well-run businesses can be caught out by outdated employment contracts, missing policies or lack of awareness around new legislation.
Although these issues often develop quietly, they can quickly become formal disputes.
How TE Business Assist helps
Your Business Legal Health Review includes a detailed look at your employment position, followed by+:
- A templated employee handbook
- Updated employment contracts
- Insight into upcoming legislative changes
- Ongoing webinars and training
This ensures your employment framework:
- Reflects current law
- Supports managers
- Protects the business long-term
Contracts often hide the biggest liabilities
Many businesses operate with terms and governance documents that were created years ago, and which have never been properly reviewed.
This can expose the business to significant risk due to:
- Unclear rights and obligations
- Weak protection if business relationships breakdown
- Long-term financial commitments
How TE Business Assist helps
The Business Legal Health Review examines how you trade and where you operate, including:
- Your Business Terms & Conditions
- Governance and shareholder arrangements
You receive clear, practical recommendations, and not legal jargon, that will ensure you fully understand your commercial and property risks.
Property issues often hide the biggest long-term liabilities
For many businesses, managing its property is one of the largest financial commitments it will make, yet it is also one of the least regularly reviewed. Leases and property arrangements are often signed and then rarely revisited; and unfavourable clauses, missed break options or unclear obligations can expose businesses to unnecessary cost and risk.
These issues often only come to light when:
- A business wants to relocate or expand
- A landlord raises a dispute
- A lease is coming to an end
