Why the cheapest legal advice is not the best

In this episode, I address one topic that I’m very passionate about and see come up a lot for business owners. That is, whether the cheapest option is really the best. Today I unpack why going cheap on legal advice may lead to unexpected and costly consequences down the road. I share my insight on navigating the often complex landscape of legal services, and discuss why I believe the cheapest legal advice really isn’t the best. In many areas of life, it’s tempting to go for the cheaper option. I often experience the pull myself and admit that in some circumstances, the cheap option works. However, when it comes to matters that are truly important, it’s crucial to prioritise quality and lean on the experience and expertise of someone who understands your unique needs.I explore the downfalls of skimping on legal advice, such as using legal templates or virtual advice platforms with enticing affordable rates, but whose services are often subpar. While they offer a cheap and seemingly quick solution to your legal matters, there is danger in applying generalised advice to your specific situation.  While there are many different areas in our businesses that require our attention, I believe there is none more important than your legal documents. For example, should your terms and conditions not be tailored to your business specifically, they have the potential to create misunderstandings or misaligned expectations. The repercussions of this could be significant damage to a business's reputation and financial stability.I talk about the importance of addressing your legals before anything else, in order to proceed in your business with security. This means prioritising your legal documents over business coaches, web branding, social media and marketing. Once you know you have safeguarded your business with a solid legal framework, you’re able to put your energy into everything else that matters to you with confidence and peace of mind. My aim for this episode is to give you the perspective you need to build a solid legal foundation and truly support your business’s trajectory for success.  LINKS:Connect with Tracey: Get your copy of my Annual Legal Checklist hereCheck out my Getting Paid Made Easy course hereWebsite:tmsolicitor.com.auInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/tmsolicitor/Book a Strategy Session with me here
