Certain matters, such as issues outside your business state, are included only on specific plan tiers. If your situation isn’t fully covered—whether it’s out-of-state support or a specialized legal matter—your provider law firm can still help through our Member Discount, giving you savings on their standard hourly rates.
Members receive access to experienced lawyers from a provider law firm in their state. LegalShield connects members with these firms, but all the legal advice is provided directly by a licensed lawyer.

The lawyers can review a wide variety of business documents, including vendor agreements, client contracts, leases, service agreements, NDAs, and partnership agreements. They’ll examine the document before you sign and help identify potential risks, unclear terms, and important legal considerations.
Employees can communicate with the lawyer only if they are listed as designated spokespersons on the account.
