For many businesses, finding legal advice which is realistic and also in line with their priorities can be a real challenge.
All too often, business owners find that the legal counsel they’ve taken isn’t of use in a real life, operational environment. In addition, the way in which legal professionals operate can also stand in the way of obtaining useful advice.

A lack of transparency over fees, for example, can lead many businesses to forego the legal advice they need because there’s no way of accurately calculating how much it will cost.
Similarly, many legal firms operate a strict appointment schedule, with legal professionals being unavailable for a quick chat or to answer a crucial query.
Taking these concerns into consideration, Bayberry & Weir have made this (like so many other common challenges in accessing sound legal advice) a priority to do differently, providing a responsive, helpful legal service that’s grounded in real life business experience.

In my experience, nothing gives you the knowledge you need to run a business successfully until you do it for yourself.
As a business owner, and seasoned legal professional who has worked for multi-nationals, I have first-hand experience of the challenges that running your business can create.
From cash flow problems through to supplier difficulties, property matters and personnel issues, I have had to personally deal with many of the challenges every business owner faces.
Nevertheless, I’m thankful for all of these challenges as it has shaped the way in which I work, enabling me to offer advice which is based not only on my legal training and experience, but also on my everyday, lived experience as a business owner and manager.

Real advice for business owners based on real experience.

When you reach out to me for legal advice with your business, you will be working with someone who understands the reality of running a business. This enables me not only to empathise with your situation but also to offer advice that’s relevant and useful.
This places me in a unique position to provide legal counsel on most business-related matters including: contracts, compliance issues, employment issues, work-based disputes, restructuring and buying or selling.

Accessible and responsive.

I understand that it can be difficult for business owners to stick to rigid appointment schedules and so ‘bottle up’ pressing issues until a time can be found in the diary to discuss them. That’s why I develop, and welcome, a relationship based on transparency and open-communication with my clients where I’m able to provide timely advice as their situation evolves.

If you are a business owner that appreciates the benefits of experience and qualifications in your legal representative, then we should talk, I’m here to help.
