Get Fit with a Legal Health Plan

September 30, 2024
Soloway

Putting your business under the microscope of a comprehensive Legal Health Check is an indispensable initial step in protecting your business against potential risks that could undermine everything you’ve worked for to this point. Doing so annually allows you and your legal team to identify areas of concern, but identifying risk is only one element of finding personalized solutions.

The true challenge lies in translating these identified risks into actionable internal processes and procedures that eliminate the risk and protect your company. This is where our Legal Health Plan service becomes essential. By conducting a thorough Legal Health Check, we identify all areas of concern and then work with you and your team to create a plan tailored to address these risks, ensuring long-term success for your business.

Prioritizing Your Biggest Risks

Understanding your risks is crucial, but addressing them with a priority on urgent tasks is what sets successful enterprises apart. When our Legal Health Check reveals areas of concern, we don’t just hand you a list of problems. We use a strategic approach to prioritize these risks, ensuring that the most pressing issues are tackled first.

Our prioritization process isn’t arbitrary, either. We have put together an algorithm through years of experience both in legal practice and as business owners ourselves. Our algorithm evaluates each risk based on several factors: the severity of potential consequences if left unaddressed, the urgency dictated by deadlines or impending benchmarks, the overall cost in terms of financial impact and resource allocation, and the energy required to resolve the issue. By weighing these factors, we can rank risks in a way that allows for immediate yet efficient and effective action.

The Legal Health Plan Algorithm in Action

Consider a scenario where your Legal Health Check has uncovered three significant issues: a looming filing deadline for a major corporate transaction in two weeks, employee misclassifications, and pending but overdue stock option distributions. Here’s how our algorithm would likely prioritize these risks:

First, if you have a corporate transaction that will collapse unless a filing is completed within two weeks, this becomes the immediate priority. 

Missing this deadline could halt a major deal, causing irreparable damage to your business and its future plans. The urgency and potential consequences make it a critical issue that the plan would cover first.

Next, we would look to address the employee misclassification issue. While there may be no immediate deadline, the longer this problem persists, the greater the risk of substantial tax penalties and civil liabilities. It requires a strategic plan to correct the classifications and address potential back pay issues (including pay for benefits that were owed but never provided). This is a serious risk but can be managed with a deliberate plan.

Finally, stock options promised to employees need to be issued sooner rather than later. The delay may not be immediately catastrophic, but it can lead to dissatisfaction and potential legal disputes if left unresolved. This issue requires attention but doesn’t demand the same immediate response as the filing deadline or the misclassification.

Our algorithm helps prioritize issues not just by urgency but by considering the overall impact on your business. We ensure that the most critical issues are addressed first, allowing for a comprehensive and methodical approach to risk management.

Crafting Cost-Efficient Legal Solutions

Addressing risks effectively doesn’t have to break the bank. While some might assume that thorough legal services come with prohibitive costs, the reality is that ignoring these risks could lead to exponentially greater expenses down the line. At Soloway Group, we work closely with our clients to find a pricing model that aligns with their budgetary needs, providing fixed pricing that allows you to create space in your budget for our legal services.

The initial Legal Health Check and Plan will likely involve a higher financial investment, but it is just that—an investment in your business’s future. By mitigating risks from the outset, we help you create a more cost-efficient operation, both legally and financially. As your risks decrease, so does the cost of subsequent Legal Health Checks and Plans. Our approach ensures that as we progress in our journey together, the costs diminish while your business remains protected.
