5 Legal Documents New Landscaping Companies Should Have In Place

For anyone who is the owner or part-owner of a landscaping company, we trust you are aware that there are certain documents you should have in place, especially if you wish to comply with commercial and consumer law. We are not suggesting that you create these documents yourself, as that would normally be a role for your commercial lawyers.

However, even if you are not creating the document, as someone who owns or manages a landscaping company, it is one of your responsibilities to ensure that it complies with the legislation that applies to the running of a landscaping company.

If, for any reason, you are unsure about any of this or any other matter about your landscaping company operating lawfully, then please discuss this with your commercial lawyer or an employment lawyer if it concerns one or more of your landscapers.

However, to give you a head start, we will highlight and outline five core legal documents that not just every landscaping company may need, but the vast majority of companies may require, regardless of what sector they operate in.

There can be many tactics and strategies used by Slinky Agency to create a successful digital marketing campaign for law firms, but one which will be at the heart of many of them will be SEO.

Why The Design Of Your Commercial Legal Practice’s Website Must Be Entrusted To A Professional Agency

If you have decided that your commercial legal practice needs a new website then no doubt you are excited by, not only what it will look like, but more to the point, how much it will help your business to generate many new clients from the internet. Creating a website is something that the top website designers know all about, and one thing they would certainly advise you against is doing it yourself.

Even if you have some experience of building a website and enjoy doing so, you have to bear in mind this website will be the representation of your commercial legal practice online. It will also have a massive influence on many aspects of your business such as its branding, its reputation its client acquisition, its revenue, and ultimately its overall success. You surely do not want to compromise any of these with a website that is anything less than perfect.

Another point to consider is that you are presumably an expert in the field of commercial legal services and when running your practice, you undoubtedly bring a high level of focus, energy, and commitment to that each day. To diminish any of these due to the additional efforts required from you in trying to build a website is surely not the best investment of your talents and your time.

A far more beneficial option for to have a new website designed for your commercial legal practice is to employ the services and the talents of a professional website design agency. We say beneficial because there are several benefits which take this course of action will produce, and if you read on, you will discover what they are.

Working Digital Marketing into your Website Design from the start

The first benefit is the fact that a professional digital agency like Tribeca Media, will have the experience and expertise that will allow them to create a strategy for any type of business, including commercial legal practices. More importantly, they will have insights into that practice’s audience which allows them to produce a website that both visually, and with respect to its content, will appeal to those prospects, which means more conversions to paid clients and make a digital marketing strategy easier to plan with a better design.

How To Legally Recover Outstanding Monies Owed To Your Landscaping Business

It is a sad fact that every business type occasionally deals with clients who, for whatever reasons, fail to pay the fees owed to that business on time. On occasion, it might simply be an oversight, and the client pays following a call to remind them the monies are outstanding.

Unfortunately, not every non-payment scenario is as straightforward as that, and thus the business owner has to take action to try and get the client to pay them what is due. The question is ‘How?’. The first point we would make is that landscapers should never try to take the law into their own hands and use anything that could be construed as overstepping legal boundaries.

We are talking about using threats, such as threats of violence to try to frighten the client into paying. Other examples would be going to their property and damaging the work that you have done for them. There is little to be gained by any of this and it often has the opposite effect where instead of the client paying, they sue you, or worse, report you to the police. So, assuming, you will pursue legal means to recover the monies owed to you, here are some steps you can take.
