Legal support and advice involves the assistance of a professional who has been trained to provide details and advice about your rights and legal rights, as well as how it affects you. It could include things like explaining how the asylum and immigration systems work, or letting you know the most recent case law regarding a country you’re planning to visit.
Business Support
The right legal advice can help you run your business more efficiently and decrease the chance of costly errors or fines. This is especially important when it involves contracts, navigating licensing laws or handling human resources issues.
Find Legal Support
There are numerous ways to seek legal advice and support that include free consultations with lawyers and legal aid providers. Local Bar Associations: Most towns and cities have a local bar association which can refer you to reputable lawyers. Some have free legal clinics where you can have a brief chat with an attorney.
Online Legal Forums – Websites such as Avvo, LawGuru, and the legal advice subreddit of Reddit are great sources to get answers to common questions. However, they should not be used to substitute for formal legal representation or assistance.
Government-run Legal Aid Providers. Many countries offer legal assistance that is provided by the government and which you can apply for if you require assistance with a legal issue. These are usually means tested which means that your earnings and assets are taken into consideration before determining whether or not you qualify for legal aid.
