How safe is your Business against legal actions?


How safe is your Business against legal actions?

An understanding of the Law is essential for business success.  Too many SMEs fail because the owners, directors or managers have little or no knowledge of business law, risk and compliance and do not realise how critical it is to utilise the Law to support business success.

SIRDAR presents a talk by George Zacharias, Sirdar Legal Associate and Attorney of the High Court, “SIRDAR Legal:  The Law and SMEs” where he outlines both the dangers of not utilising the law as well as the benefits of having a law program in place from day one of your business.

What must you understand about the law to ensure your success as an SME? What new developments within the legal environment do you need to be aware of?

Too many SMEs fail because a significant legal aspect is either ignored or is not satisfactorily attended to by the management, directors or owners of the enterprise.  They often do not seek the guidance and understanding about the Law that they require in order for their enterprise to be sustainable and to grow.

So what is it that you need to understand about the law to support you and your business to succeed?  Which new developments within the Law do you need to be aware of?  What do you need to understand to ensure that everything your business has achieved to date is not lost through not understanding or complying with legislation?

Join George on this Legal Business Expedition and uncover :

• The essential legal foundations for your enterprise.
• The key agreements all SME’s should have in place.
• How to identify your major legal business risks and how to deal with them.
• An update on the impact of the new Consumer Protection Act and Companies Act on the SME sector as well as pending new Labour laws.

"SMEs walk a tightrope of risk - even though most entrepreneurs are risk takers, the key is to manage the risks. Sticking your head in the ground and ignoring the risks is not the same as taking calculated risks. A legal partner that can assist with risk assessments and management is crucial if the entrepreneur wishes to reach the summit of business success."
Eugene Botha, Sirdar Legal Associate and Attorney of the High Court.

We are looking forward to hosting you at this event
