Legateca serves up just the right legal advice for bistro owner

If there’s one piece of advice small business owner Wendy Mulvaney from Sunderland could offer, it’s to seek legal advice cost effectively or have the contacts in place should it be needed in the future.

That’s exactly what she did when her business Wendy’s Place - a cafe bar and bistro - was hit by an unexpected cost for a service unfulfilled.

Wendy had been working with a company for a number of months and had been very pleased with the service, but when a member of the team left the business, the contract agreement wasn’t actioned, yet she was still being charged.

“I was out of my depth and didn’t know what to do, “ says Wendy. I’m a fair person and know things in business change, but when I wasn’t receiving the service I was promised I knew I had to take action, especially because I was landed with a big bill to pay.”

Having found Legateca through recommendation, Wendy found that she could access a diverse pool of solicitors within just a few clicks, see their individual credentials and book an appointment.

“The whole process was effortless and I didn’t even have to leave my premises to take action. Zakia Khalid became my go-to solicitor to fight back against the claim and after a few weeks, we were successful.

“I saved a lot of time and hassle because of Legateca and found the most amazing solicitor who has not only become a trusted business advisor on all things legal matters, but a good friend and ally to have on side.

Zakia said: “Sadly in business, this scenario and countless others, is something I see a lot and most small businesses are so time and money strapped that they let instances like these slide.

“As a professional solicitor who works for both private clients and in the corporate sector, I’m pleased to be a part of Legateca because it is helping to empower more people to navigate the complexities of the legal system with greater ease and confidence.”

Founder of Legateca Umair Zahid says: “I’m so pleased that Wendy has gained the end result the business deserves and that Legateca has played a part in the process.

“Ultimately, Legateca is a platform that provides a gateway to expert solicitors, bridging the gap between people in need of legal advice and the professionals who can help them navigate the complexities of legal advice with confidence and efficiency.”

Wendy concludes: “My confidence and knowledge of legal matters has grown and I’m now ready to take my business to the next level.”
