Legal Start: Your Small Business Safety Net
While a few hours spent researching online might give you some partial understanding of the legal and business challenges your business may face, it is important to spare yourself trouble down the road by establishing a relationship early on with a lawyer.
Which is why, at our upcoming Small Business Forum, we’re talking Legal Start: Your Small Business Safety Net, hosted by Taylor McCaffery LLP.
Join us for our free forum, dedicated to providing you with insights on legal services and resources focused on business, labour and employment, regulatory and intellectual property matters to help make your dream a reality.
What is the Legal Start Program?
Legal Start offers legal advice for start-ups at a fixed fee. Taylor McCaffery LLP will meet with you to get to know your business and determine what services you need, connect you with a lawyer who suits those needs and provide you with a quote specific to your business. More information can be found here.
