Consulting a lawyer used to be an affordable part of setting up and doing business properly. Seeing a lawyer should be like seeing your local doctor for a routine health-check, or putting in a call with a quick question to ask if something is ok. A professional who understands your business and your longer term needs - not something to be put off because you're afraid the bill will be too big (and might result in a much more expensive 'emergency room visit, or 'major surgery'). 

These days, the profession is flooded with inaccessible big law firms, charging outrageous hourly rates which are not commensurate with the value added to your business. They often to reside in "ivory towers", with lawyers who don't have a real-world understanding of the impact on your business (including junior associates being trained at clients' expense) or a routine health check. 

Having worked in 'big law,' internationally and at a local community level, as well as in hands-on business roles, with Ean's firm you get the best of both worlds.  Fee structures will always reflect the real value-added from the work being done.
