As a professional groom, you’re often focused on delivering top-notch care to the horses in your charge. However, like any profession, being a groom comes with its own set of legal complexities that can arise at any moment. Whether it’s reviewing contracts, handling disputes, or even something as simple as ensuring your rights are protected, legal advice can be expensive and difficult to access.
This is where LegalShield, a service recommended by both HorseGrooms and Instagrooms, can make a significant difference in your life as a groom. Instagrooms and HorseGrooms have joined forces to professionalize the grooming industry, and a LegalShield membership can be an important part of that journey.
What is LegalShield?
LegalShield is a membership-based legal service that gives individuals access to a network of experienced attorneys for a low monthly fee. Instead of paying high hourly rates, members can contact a lawyer for advice, have documents reviewed, and receive help with personal or professional legal matters whenever needed. It’s like having a law firm on call without the usual cost. LegalShield has been around for over 50 years and is available in the U.S. and Canada, making it a trusted option for grooms working in North America who want to protect themselves, their careers, and their peace of mind.
Although LegalShield is also a great support system to have for trainers and barn owners, here are the top three reasons why you, as a groom, should consider acquiring a LegalShield membership:
1. Affordable Access to Legal Help
Hiring a lawyer can be expensive, and, in many cases, grooms shy away from getting the legal help they need because of the cost. With a LegalShield membership, you’ll have access to a network of qualified attorneys at a fraction of the typical cost. Whether you’re dealing with work-related issues or personal legal matters, having professional legal advice readily available can give you peace of mind. It’s a cost-effective solution that ensures you’re never alone in navigating legal challenges.
2. Protection for Your Contracts and Rights
As a freelance or employed groom, you may frequently encounter contracts for employment, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), or even liability waivers. LegalShield allows you to have these documents reviewed by a legal professional, ensuring your rights are protected before you sign anything. If you’re ever let go without cause or if there’s a dispute over payment, you can consult an attorney to ensure you’re handling the situation properly and legally.
3. Guidance in Personal and Professional Legal Matters
Beyond work-related legal needs, a LegalShield membership can also help with personal legal matters. Need to draft or update your will? Have questions about setting up a small business in the grooming industry? With LegalShield, you can access legal advice to help guide you in both personal and professional life without the stress of massive legal fees.
