Interim mature lawyers:

Mature Lawyers can provide an interim solution to your legal resource requirements through Faraday's Law www.faradayslaw.co.uk.

Faraday's Law works with clients in a number of ways:

You may be the head of a busy in house legal team facing a temporary resource crunch caused by absence or a specific deal or project, and in need of an experienced pair of hands on a temporary basis.
You may be the CEO or CFO of a small company who recognises the benefit of having a good commercial lawyer to advise on a wide range of issues but cannot justify the expense of your own in house lawyer. By retaining Faraday's Law, you will get access to an experienced in-house lawyer who will work from your offices (subject to location) and/or remotely, get to know you and your business and deal with day-to-day legal issues for you as well as acting as an experienced sounding board, leaving you free to get on with running your business ... all for a flat rate monthly fee.
Alternatively, you may be facing a project or transaction that is sufficiently important to your business to justify external legal advice ... but not at the rates you are being quoted by City firms. Faraday's Law can provide the support and advice you need on a specific transaction or project, for a fraction of the cost of City firms.

If you would like to discuss your requirements, or just have a chat about your business with an experienced in house lawyer, contact me at ed@maturelawyers.com.

Mature Workers bridge the skills gap

I read with great interest today that UK entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on older workers to plug skills shortages in their businesses, according to figures released by entrepreneur think tank, the Tenon Forum.Nearly half (45 per cent) of UK owner-managers are concerned about skills shortages and many claim younger recruits are often just not up to the job. Many entrepreneurs are now looking to the previously untapped potential of older workers to plug the gap, with two thirds (66 per cent) of SME leaders agreeing that the employment of workers aged 50 plus is a good solution to skills shortages. And more than a fifth (22 per cent) of entrepreneurial businesses actually favour the hiring of older workers over college leavers as a solution to staffing problems.
