in broad terms, legal business Pro 2014, provides you with a framework and structure for you to hang your knowledge upon. I would not suggest that you rely upon this extensive library of contracts and forms if you have absolutely no knowledge of the law, or no experience with legal issues. That being said it is a first-class tool to use at state and federal level. The program itself is extraordinarily easy to install. The user agreement in the installation process is mildly amusing since it disavows any liability andnrecommends that you should consult a lawyer, and the extent of any liability for the company that puts out the legal business Pro software is just for the cost of the program. That piece of mild amusement (at least for anyone who has done contract law at university level) aside, the program provides updates as you start and continues, if you register, to provide additional updates for two years after 31st of December 2014; one of the bonuses of registration is a 404 page contract law book.n Once you start the program you have a whole list of resources including a library of legal books and even references to lawyers by category. When you start to create a document the program has a basic three-part interface: the first is create document. The second is read Nolo book from library. And the third is view checklist. A sizable amount of the forms that you can use are basically fill in the spaces type of documents, and for small businesses these will undoubtedly come in handy; about the only recommendation I would make is that wherever possible make sure that you have very good records, since (for example) a request for a bounced check to be honored, could quickly get to a small claims issue, and how something as simple as that is handled varies from state to state. The second reference to the library is probably going to be good for research for contracts, and finding cases with precedents where certain clauses are deemed enforceable, and certain closely worded ones are deemed not enforceable can usually be found in either case law or precedent books. In the more basic sense, the checklist in legal business Pro can help you through some easy things to sort out, as well as some moderately complex things to sort out. As good as this set of forms, contracts, and other references are in the legal realm, the biggest issue you will face, in my opinion, is the decision concerning when your own ability to handle issues is stretched to its limits, and it’s time to call a lawyer. Still, it may be a big learning experience if you draft up a contract, whether agreement, lease, business related contract, and take it to a lawyer and see how far off the mark you might be. If you are halfway decent at researching you might actually find that you can draw up a contract that actually stands up to the test, and legal business Pro 2014 is definitely the set of tools to get you at least part of the way there.
