Legal advice and support is the process of a certified legal professional who gives you information and guidance regarding your rights, how law operates and how it applies to you. It could be explaining how asylum and immigration work or providing you with the most current caselaw in a country you’re planning to visit.
Business Support
Having the appropriate legal support services in place can help your business perform more efficiently and smoothly, and minimise the risk of costly legal errors or fines. This is particularly important when it is time to negotiate contracts as well as navigate licensing laws or deal with human resource issues.
Find Legal Assistance
There are a variety of ways to get legal advice and support and consultations for free from attorneys and legal aid agencies. Local Bar Associations: Most towns or cities have a local bar association which can provide referrals to competent lawyers. Some have free legal clinics where you can speak briefly with an attorney.
Online Legal Forums – Websites like Avvo, LawGuru, and the legal advice subreddit of Reddit are excellent sources to get answers to common questions. However, they should not be used in lieu for formal legal representation or assistance.
Government-Run Legal Aid Providers: Many countries have State-run legal aid services which you are able to apply for if require assistance with a specific legal issue. They are typically means-tested, which means that your assets and income will be taken into consideration in determining if you’re eligible for legal aid.
