How Markel can help you
Commercial Advice
There are many areas within a business which, if not handled correctly, can take a substantial amount of resources to resolve. The legal advisers will be at hand to provide you with details of the relevant and current legislation on:
- Intellectual property
- Small claims court procedures
- Business tenancies
- Debt recovery
- Dealing with complaint letters (asserting rights)
- Dealing with statutory demands
Health & Safety Advice
All businesses are legally required to undertake a full health and safety risk assessment of their premises and business procedures. In the event of accidents, businesses could be involved in a civil claim for compensation and there could also be criminal prosecutions. With our support, you can minimise risk by receiving advice on:
- Undertaking health and safety assessments
- Correct procedures in the workplace
- Understanding new legislation
Employment Advice
Employment legislation can be a minefield and an incorrect decision could put your business into turmoil. Our advice line can help you ensure your business remains compliant and proper, fair procedures are followed. You can receive advice on matters including:
- Recruitment
