Make use of free legal documentation
It’s our mission in the BMF to deliver high quality services,
and so I get really excited when I 
come across
something that really delivers a benefit to our
members.
You’ll all be aware that our FirstAssist legal
helpline gives you access to free legal advice on a 24/7 basis – if
you’re not, then you’re missing out on one of the premier benefits
of BMF membership; you can access the information via the
members’
area of the website. But, did you know that we are now
offering members a new, completely free service that enables you to
generate tailored legal documents for use in every area of your
business?
And there’s more…… The site allows you to
review and edit the documents that you’ve created and send them to
a lawyer to review, completely free. This service
could save you thousands of pounds, whilst giving you the
confidence that the legal documents you are using have been
properly reviewed. And if you want to speak to a human being, then
you can use the helpline and talk things through. This makes
it easy for every member, however small or short of funds, to
protect themselves against legal disputes and difficulties,
quickly, efficiently and without fuss.
As I said, I’m really excited about this
development. In fact so enthusiastic about it that I’m
holding the first of a series of workshops on basic employment
Law, using the FirstAssist materials from the website, and
demonstrating exactly how easy the system is to use. This
first workshop is already sold out, but there will be more, so
watch this space……..
