ARK ICT SOLUTIONS LIMITED

As a small business we needed reliable legal support on an occasional basis.  We have used Maples to draw up new contracts for our staff and to give us legal advice regarding a disciplinary matter. On-going we have chosen to pay for a yearly business legal support.  The advantage for us is that we can email or call Maples at any time, regarding any matter that crops up and get the right advice.  So far this has worked really well for us, especially as we know there are no hidden costs and it can be budgeted into the running costs across the year.
