Online Services for Businesses

At Ashton KCJ we are committed to offering a high quality service at affordable prices and we appreciate in certain circumstances clients are more than happy to generate their own documentation without seeking the assistance of detailed guidance from a lawyer. As such at Ashton KCJ Online we have a range of documents available relating to Employment, Business Start Up, E-Commerce, Intellectual Property and Purchase & Sale Agreements, which you can complete yourself for use within your business. These documents do not preclude our clients from taking further guidance/advice from our lawyers, but do offer the client the opportunity to reduce overheads and costs by dispensing with this service.

Often business clients are precluded from putting in place formal documentation evidencing their business relationships due to the prohibitive costs. It is only with hindsight, when things go wrong, that parties realise the costly mistake of not having evidenced agreements in writing prior to the commencement of the contractual relationship. Whilst a tailored document drafted following full consultation with advisers is most likely to ensure all issues are covered, the cost of such documentation can be disproportionate to some budgets. It is possible to generate a reasonable document yourself using our Ashton KCJ Online service. Furthermore, if having generated the document you feel there are gaps or areas where you need clarification you can, should you wish, seek this further advice from us after creating the documentation.

At Ashton KCJ on-line we are committed to making it easy for you to set up your business agreements and have set up a system so that you may:

• try before you buy;
• be guided through your decision making on a step by step basis;
• have the confidence that your document will be reviewed by a qualified adviser; and
• still have available to you the back up of expert advice and assistance should you feel additional help is required.

By offering an online service for you to create documents for your own business needs, we can ensure that the costs are a fraction of what it would be were you to ask us to tailor the documentation from scratch to your specific requirements.

In all instances you can be assured that we will review the answers you input into our systems and ensure that you receive a document that is suitable for your requirements based on the information you have provided.

In order to ensure this service is as cost effective as possible, the time that we spend on your documentation is limited but should be sufficient for most needs. If in any instance we feel that your documentation will require a significant amount of extra work, then we would contact you to discuss this with you and provide you with a quote for such additional work. However, you will not incur any additional charges without having agreed to do so with us first.

Ashton KCJ Online allows you to commence creation of documents before committing to make any payment. Simply select the document/s you are interested in and you will be prompted to start answering questions, the document will then begin to take form as your answers progress. If you are happy with the completed document, simply pay the fixed fee and complete the rest of the questions upon which the document will be submitted to a lawyer for review before being signed off as appropriate for your use.

Should you prefer to have a more bespoke document created for your needs or upon reviewing the standard documents we have on offer you feel certain aspects of your matter are not sufficiently dealt with in the agreement, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01603 703218 for a free, no obligation quote as to the cost of that more tailored service.

Jurisdiction

Please note that we are lawyers who are qualified to provide legal advice in England and Wales only and as such our documents are only appropriate for those agreements which are to be governed by English law. Should you have any concerns or doubts as to whether or not the English law should apply to your documents, please do not hesitate to give us a call and we would be delighted to discuss this further with you.
