Dispute Prevention
Simply put, by out-sourcing the ‘in-house’ legal function to LPS, your business will have immediate and unlimited access to a commercial lawyer for an assessed monthly fee. One of LPS’s solicitors becomes part of your team and serves as your ‘in-house’ General Counsel.
The role has two key benefits. First, your in-house resource is there to draft all contracts and other legal documentation for your business at a fraction of the cost of instructing solicitors under the usual ‘hourly rate’ solicitors model. Having strong contractual documentation in place (for employees, sub-contractors, consultants, shareholders, customers, suppliers, distributors – to name just a few) creates the first line of defence in any legal disputes which might follow.
Second, your in-house legal resource is there to help you resolve any legal issues immediately as they arise. Resolving issues early, within a commercial setting, not a legal one, saves time, saves money and it preserves commercial relationships. Litigation invariably does the opposite – it wastes time, wastes money and destroys commercial relationships.
Our proactive approach
In the world of business, it’s common to deal with legal issues as they arise. But what if there was a way to foresee and avoid these problems before they escalate? That is the aim of LPS’s ‘Dispute Prevention’ service. It’s a proactive approach that provides businesses with a key and cost effective advantage in dispute management.
For businesses large enough to face legal issues regularly, but not large enough to employ an in-house lawyer, tap into LPS for your complete legal resource. This service offers businesses the peace of mind which comes from having immediate access to top-tier legal counsel. By being part of your commercial team, we can deal with and mitigate all legal problems early, upholding the integrity and reputation of your business.
