Legal guidance for the self-employed

The aim of our guides is to make legal issues less intimidating and more understandable, whether you’re dealing with another small business or a much larger company. But every situation is different, so we’d always urge you to seek specialist advice relating to your individual circumstances. Support for IPSE members includes a free 24-hour legal helpline, along with discounts on legal services from our partners.
