Enterprising local law firm to provide free legal advice at show

Oxley & Coward Solicitors of Rotherham will once again be providing free legal advice at Business Link's Enterprise Show over the weekend of 24 and 25 April at Meadowhall Coach Park, Sheffield.

The aim of the show is to offer people the chance to get some free professional advice on both starting and developing their own business. Local solicitors Oxley & Coward have supported the Enterprise Show for the past four years now and Rebecca Stopford, commercial partner, has provided free legal advice at the event for the last six years.

"This is one business event that has got better every year," said Rebecca. "The number of attendees and expert advisors has grown over the last six years and 2010 is expected to be the biggest and best yet. Amy Cusworth and I will be on hand to give advice, offer practical solutions and general guidance to those planning to set up in business, while our colleague Dawn Cherry will also be answering questions on her specialist subject of employment law."

The experts from Oxley and Coward will be available all weekend at the Enterprise Show, on Saturday from 10am until 5pm and on Sunday from 10am until 4pm. Those who can't attend the event can call Rebecca Stopford at Oxley and Coward on 01709 510999, who will be happy to organise a free consultation at any other time.

By supporting this event in the region and always providing free consultations and services tailored to meet the budgets of all businesses, Oxley and Coward aims to prove it is possible to put fledgling businesses on the right track for long term growth and success, despite the current ecconomic climate.

"It remains a fact that 50% of businesses fail in their first three years of trading so it is vital that new start-ups have access to sound legal advice, particualrly in the key early days of planning and trading, as these are the foundations that will make or break the businnes long term," said Rebecca.

"Unfortunately, perceived cost and not knowing where the risk areas are can mean this essential step is often missed out. Events like the Enterprise Show give Oxley and Coward along with bankers, accountants and other professionals the opportunity to give young businesses some free early help and provide them with the confidence to help them succeed."
