Your Business Deserves Real Legal Backup.
Most small business owners go without legal help because it's too expensive. LegalShield changes that. For a flat monthly fee, you get a dedicated business attorney in your state — ready to review contracts, handle disputes, help with IRS audits, and advise you on the legal questions that come up every single week when you're running a business.
Speak with an attorney in as little as 8 hours
No waiting weeks for an appointment. Your provider law firm responds fast — because business problems don't wait.
Protect and grow your business
From contract review to debt collection to trademark guidance, your attorney is a partner in your growth — not just a crisis resource.
Save thousands vs. hiring directly
Business attorneys bill $300–$600/hour. LegalShield gives you that same access for a fraction of the cost, every month.
Legal Help for Every Part of Your Business
From day-to-day questions to serious disputes — your attorney is there.
Contract Review
Before you sign a lease, vendor agreement, or client contract — have your attorney review it so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.
Unpaid Invoices & Debt Collection
When clients don't pay, your attorney sends demand letters that get results — without you going to small claims court or hiring a collections agency.
IRS Audit Defense
If the IRS comes knocking, your attorney handles it — up to 90 hours of representation included so you're never facing the IRS alone.
Multi-State Operations
Doing business across state lines? Preferred and Premium plans cover you in every state under the same EIN — no extra fees.
Employee & HR Disputes
Wrongful termination claims, employment agreements, non-competes, and workplace disputes — your attorney knows employment law.
Business Formation
Starting or restructuring? Get legal guidance on entity type, operating agreements, and state compliance before you file a single form.
Slander, Libel & Defamation
A bad review, a false claim, or a competitor spreading lies can hurt your business. Your attorney can send cease-and-desist letters and advise on your options.
Trademark & Copyright
Protect your brand name, logo, and creative work. Your attorney can advise on trademark registration and help you respond to infringement.
Commercial Lease Disputes
Landlord raising your rent, refusing repairs, or threatening eviction? Your attorney reviews your lease and fights for your rights as a tenant.

Business Plus Supplement
The tools to run your business, not just protect it
$14.95/month
added to your plan
Your LegalShield business plan gives you the legal protection to handle problems when they come up. Business Plus gives you the tools to run your business better every single day. Think of it as your back-office team — business consultants on call, ready-to-use legal and business forms, a CRM to manage your clients, and even a website builder with e-commerce built in. All for less than a tank of gas each month.
Who needs this: Any small business owner who wants more than just legal protection — someone who wants real business tools, expert guidance, and the forms and systems to look and operate like a pro without hiring a full team.
If you run a business, you've already needed a lawyer. You just didn't know it.
Every one of these situations happens to real business owners every day. Most of them pay thousands — or lose thousands — because they didn't have legal backup.
What a business attorney actually costs.
Business attorneys charge $300–$500/hour. A single contract dispute, employee issue, or vendor problem can run $5,000–$20,000+ in legal fees. The LegalShield Preferred Business plan is $99.95/month for up to 5 employees. That's less than one hour with a business attorney.
A client refuses to pay.
You did the work. You sent the invoice. They're ignoring you. Taking someone to small claims court yourself is time-consuming and stressful — and a collections attorney retainer starts at $1,500.
With LegalShield: LegalShield sends attorney-drafted demand letters on your behalf. Most unpaid invoices get resolved before it ever reaches court.
A vendor sends you a contract.
Supplier agreements, service contracts, partnership deals — they're full of clauses that protect the other party, not you. Most business owners sign without reading them. That's how disputes start.
With LegalShield: Unlimited contract review is included. Send any contract to your LegalShield attorney before you sign. Every time.
An employee threatens to sue.
Wrongful termination claims, harassment allegations, wage disputes — even a frivolous claim costs $10,000–$50,000 to defend. And HR mistakes happen even when you're trying to do everything right.
With LegalShield: LegalShield provides attorney consultation on employment matters, HR document review, and guidance on how to handle the situation before it escalates.
You're starting or restructuring your business.
LLC vs. S-Corp vs. sole proprietor — the wrong structure can cost you in taxes, liability, and legal exposure. Most people pick one based on a Google search and hope for the best.
With LegalShield: Your LegalShield attorney walks you through entity selection, operating agreements, and the legal steps to set your business up correctly from day one.
A competitor is copying your work.
Someone is using your logo, your copy, your product name, or your process. Intellectual property theft is common — and most small business owners don't know how to stop it without spending a fortune.
With LegalShield: LegalShield attorneys advise on trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters — and can send cease-and-desist letters on your behalf.
Your landlord is making your life difficult.
Commercial lease disputes, surprise rent increases, maintenance failures, early termination threats — your landlord has a lawyer. You probably don't. That's not a fair fight.
With LegalShield: LegalShield covers commercial lease review and landlord-tenant disputes. Know your rights before you sign — and when things go sideways.
You get hit with a regulatory fine or audit.
A licensing issue, a zoning complaint, a tax audit, an OSHA notice — government agencies move fast and the paperwork is overwhelming. Responding wrong can make it worse.
With LegalShield: LegalShield attorneys help you respond to government notices, understand your obligations, and navigate regulatory issues without panic.
A customer is leaving you a false review or defaming your business.
One false review or a social media post calling you a scammer can cost you clients. Defamation is real, and most business owners don't know they have legal options.
With LegalShield: LegalShield attorneys advise on defamation, send demand letters to remove false content, and help you protect your business reputation.
One legal situation without coverage can wipe out months of profit. One call with Cara can change that.
