Belfast commercial law specialists, Wilson Nesbitt solicitors, have launched a free-to-view comprehensive online business law guide and an extensive range of document products to help small and medium businesses in Northern Ireland ride out the recession.

Business owners can now interact online with the firm’s new website to purchase a wide range of customised legal documents at a fraction of the usual cost.  Under a unique document builder system, the user will see the documents alter as they answer online questions, with the final version being checked by the solicitors.

Drew Nesbitt of Wilson Nesbitt believes the initiative should prove invaluable for many businesses here:

“Small and medium businesses are the backbone of the Northern Ireland economy.  But many of them simply don’t have, and nor can they afford, specialist in-house expertise in important areas such as human resources and health and safety, nor access to highly skilled lawyers to properly set up their business structures.  We looked carefully at how we could help.  The aim through our site’s Law Guide is to provide the critical advice that will empower business owners to manage risk in their business without having to contact a solicitor.”

Drew continued “The document builder system provides our clients with the online equivalent of a face-to-face interaction with a highly skilled and specialist City-trained commercial solicitor, at a fraction of the usual cost.  All businesses can now have the sort of premium document protection previously reserved for leading corporate brands.  So, there is no longer any excuse.”

Roger Gilpin of Gilpin Executive Search and Development, is one of the first to have downloaded the documents.

“I was delighted by both the simplicity of the website process and the quality of the documents.  For a modest outlay I now have all the documents I need and I have saved a lot of money compared to what it would have cost if I had sought professional help to draw them up from scratch,” said Mr Gilpin.

The documents, covering everything from partnership and shareholders agreements to employment and other contracts and from terms of business to HR and health and safety policies, are available now on www.wilsonnesbittonline.co.uk.
