Quick to respond, quick to react and able to get into the nitty gritty of your legal issues efficiently and effectively. Whether it's the threat of a dispute or an urgent review of a contract that you're not sure about, we can help.
You will receive legal advice from an experienced non-practising solicitor with a deep understanding of practical legal issues following years of experience working in law, insurance and in business.
We don't work within a traditional law firm structure; so we can help you or your business with efficient, sound legal and commercial advice for a fraction of solicitor rates. We work with you as your own personal / business counsel.
The Law Collective is owned and run by Meg Opie and David Salter, two non-practising solicitors with complementary skills and knowledge.
With many years of experience gained in top-tier law firms and working as a consultant to some of the world’s biggest business organisations, David uses that experience to advise and negotiate on behalf of businesses big and small, as well as individuals in Cornwall and the south west. He has also founded, built and sold two businesses, which gives him a great insight into the whole life cycle of a company.
Often engaged to act as a consultant in-house counsel, day-to-day work involves urgent review and advice in relation to contractual documents, as well as helping businesses set themselves up properly, first time.
Meg comes from a private client background and works closely with individuals and small business owners in Cornwall. She really understands that, at the heart of every legal matter lies an individual. Helping families get set up for the future, Meg loves to find out about what people want to achieve and how she can help them to get there.
One of the drivers of The Law Collective is to make legal advice available to all. By working at rates reflective of the economy we live in, the opportunity to obtain solid, pragmatic and effective legal advice at a reasonable rate is now open to more businesses and individuals in Cornwall and the south west than ever before.
Spending two hours with David was the best thing we could have done just before Christmas. He resolved our dispute and made sure we got paid which meant I could sleep at night and get on with running my business. We don't often need legal advice but we always contact The Law Collective when we do.
David helped to draft our shareholder agreement and terms and conditions of hire, as well as advising on the insurance issues relating to renting out our own campervan to the public. Great value and clear legal advice. Would recommend to anyone starting a new business in Cornwall.
When we received a letter stating that a major, national landowner wanted to enforce rights over our property, we didn't know where to turn but something just didn't sound right. David took the time to listen, wrote a detailed letter back to the Land Registry and the landowner who subsequently withdrew their claim.
We may be out and about helping clients around Cornwall so email is usually the best way to get in touch - we aim to respond to all messages within 24 hours.
However, if you would like to pick up the phone, please call (01872) 709667 and, if we miss you, we will call you back as soon as possible.
