Whether you’re a start-up, scaling up, or fully established business, it is likely that you will at some point need legal advice in order to address your ‘business-as-usual’ requirements, whether it be reviewing commercial contracts with clients or suppliers or setting up new policies and employment contracts.
As well as the business-as usual-requirements, it is likely businesses may also face unexpected legal challenges along the way, whether that be dealing with employee relations issues or a breach of data protection.
EMW has spent a great deal of time looking into what clients require from their legal providers and ultimately how best the firm can support them wherever they are in their business journey.
As a result, the Milton Keynes-based firm has introduced two new services that aim to make processes smoother and more efficient for clients – a subscription-based service, Certitude by EMW, that allows clients to purchase hours, at a fixed rate; and Debt Collect by EMW, a debt collection service that leaves clients free of the time-consuming efforts of chasing outstanding payments.
One of the biggest factors that we have seen, particularly given these unpredictable times, is that businesses want cost certainty when they request legal services, and, importantly, no surprises!
In addition, owners and decision makers want to trust their legal advisers to get on with it, so that they can focus on what really matters, which is growing their business.
EMW has, therefore, created Certitude by EMW, which will enable businesses to purchase a bank of hours, at a fixed rate, on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis which they can use how they like across a multitude of services including, but not limited to: trading arrangements, employment law, data protection, and company secretarial and corporate governance.
What are the benefits of choosing Certitude by EMW?
The benefits include direct access to a dedicated team of experienced lawyers and the flexibility that allows clients use their hours as they need them, across various legal areas.
Importantly, there’s also the security of having cost control over legal expenses so there are no surprises.
With Certitude by EMW, clients will have certainty and confidence in relation to legal requirements, with predictable legal costs and comprehensive support with a team who are experts in this field.
