South coast: Coffin Mew launches dedicated legal support package for entrepreneurs
South Coast law firm Coffin Mew has announced the launch of a dedicated legal support package for entrepreneurial businesses.
Called Modus: First Call, the service offers small and medium-sized businesses a legal support package with access to an advisory sounding-board and helpline, quality documentation, and exclusive discounted rates for more complex legal support.
Modus: First Call has been designed following extensive consultation with clients and business leaders along the South Coast, and reflects Coffin Mew’s entrepreneurial approach in delivering legal services.
Mark O’Halloran, a partner and head of Coffin Mew’s Commercial Services team said: “Entrepreneurial businesses need entrepreneurial advisers. The days of clients visiting lawyers in their offices have gone; businesses need advice and support when it suits them, and this is what Modus: First Call provides.”
Modus: First Call is only available to businesses with a turnover of less that £750,000 a year, with subscriptions starting from as little as £200 a month. It offers businesses access to support and discounted documentation across a number of business critical areas including:
- Employment contracts and performance management
- Supplier terms and conditions
- Website terms and conditions
- Managing creditors and debtors
- Protecting and registering IP
- Shareholder agreements
- Property law
He added: “Small business owners need to focus on the running of their business, being able to call on support as and when it is needed. Cashflow too can be a real issue for smaller businesses, and big legal bills can be crippling. Modus: First Call helps spread those costs. The service aims to cover the most common questions that small businesses may ask.”
