What is a prepaid legal plan?
With a prepaid legal plan, the heavy lifting is done for you—every business attorney on the plan is reviewed and evaluated to ensure trustworthiness, legal knowledge, and relevant experience. And because legal plans cost a flat rate that’s paid up front, pricing is more predictable.
6 ways our legal plans can help your business
During your company’s life cycle, there are numerous times where having reliable legal advice can help you make more informed business decisions. With a prepaid legal plan, you’ll always have convenient access to legal assistance from an experienced business lawyer for important events and all the times in between.
Business formation
When forming a new small business, an attorney can advise which entity type to choose, review your operating agreement and other documents, and answer any other setup questions you have.
Business growth
As your business gets bigger or expands to new markets, an attorney can advise you on adding investors, help you make key hiring decisions, or review a lease for a new physical location.
Day-to-day business
An experienced lawyer can assist with the regular course of business, such as how to navigate state laws or review a contract, non-disclosure agreement (NDA), or other legal documents.
Compliance issues
To keep your business in good standing and avoid penalties, an attorney can answer questions about any post-formation filings required by your state like operating agreements and annual reports.
Litigation risk
If your company is sued for any reason, a business attorney can guide you to understand what to do and the proper procedure for how to respond to a lawsuit.
Intellectual property
If your business needs to protect its name, logo, slogan, or other valuable creative work, a knowledgeable business lawyer can help you understand your trademark or copyright needs.
Frequently asked questions
I’m starting a new business; what can an attorney help me with?
If you’re just getting started, an attorney can help you select a formation type, review your operating agreement, review other formation documents, answer questions about how to stay compliant, and more.
I already have a business; what can an attorney help me with?
If your business is up and running, attorneys can help with a lot, including:
- Growing your business, including hiring
- Avoiding potential litigation
- Making changes to your business
- Protecting against compliance risks and fees
- Understanding how and when to protect your intellectual property
- Reviewing legal agreements such as nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), contracts, and leases
- Providing guidance on other real estate matters
Are the attorneys knowledgeable in specific areas of law?
Yes. Attorneys in our network can answer questions covering a wide range of practice areas from business formation, intellectual property, and compliance to estate planning, family law, and more. Additionally, they are vetted for their expertise in small business, and you can search our directory for an attorney that specializes in an area of law you need help with.
Can I talk to an attorney who’s local to me?
Yes. Our network includes attorneys licensed in all 50 states who know about both federal and local state laws, and we carefully screen attorneys for both professionalism and friendliness. Depending on your legal matter, a local attorney isn’t always needed.
Can an attorney assist me with completing forms and filing them with the court?
You can use attorney consultations for guidance with forms and to ask questions about court filings. If you want help filing, our plans provide a 25% discount on your consulting attorney’s hourly rate (subject to their discretion and availability).
What are the limitations of the prepaid legal plans?
One way we make attorney access so affordable is to limit each consultation to new legal matters. A new legal matter is a specific personal or business legal issue, or a specific legal document, that you haven’t spoken to a network attorney about before. Also, our legal plans are set up to cover the most common areas our customers need help with. If you need to retain an attorney for more complex or ongoing legal matters, the legal plan provides a 25% discount on your consulting attorney’s hourly rate.
If I decide to cancel the plan, will you still assist me with the documents that I purchased?
If you decide you no longer need the plan and would like to cancel, you may still receive assistance from our customer care specialists for your purchased documents—but you should note that they are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.
