Our Services

  • Business Support

    We offer business support to individuals and organisations in the social economy sector. Our areas of expertise include legal structures and governance particularly within the social enterprise and charity sector.

    We can offer you direct support to explore the legal models, based on your particular aims and objectives. We will work with you to look at the long‐term consequences of the chosen structure, and the ongoing legal compliance connected to that model.

    We are experts in governance and we can provide information, advice best practice such as effective boards, decision making and facilitating effective meetings.

    We can also provide social enterprise support helping you to select the most appropriate legal model. We can also support you to navigate the confusing world of social enterprise.

  • Paralegal Support

    We are experts in providing legal support to the social economy sector. We offer an alternative and more affordable service than ‘traditional’ legal advice.

    We aim to make legal advice accessible to those who require it and at affordable rates. Not only can we provide you with legal advice, we also provide specialist drafting services.

    Our services are provided by paralegals, who have legal qualifications and are experienced in providing legal advice but we are not qualified solicitors. We provide these services to complement the legal profession but to also support organisations who cannot afford the rates charged by traditional legal advisors.

    We offer legal advice on a variety of areas, and can support you with legal compliance. In particular, in terms of your company or charity, employment law, as well as offering drafting services as required.

  • Coaching & Mentoring

    We are now offering Executive Coaching & Mentoring as part of our commitment to support the social economy sector.

    Our approach to coaching and mentoring is client focused. Our approach recognises your uniqueness, and understands that we all learn, develop and address opportunities and issues in different ways. That personal development can be harnessed within your organisation to better achieve your objectives. We pride ourselves on the ability to find what works for you, while building trust and collaboration in our relationship from the outset.

    We use a variety of techniques to achieve this, but most importantly we listen to what you need and want, before empowering you to succeed.
