Clive Rich on all things contract, including getting out of contracts, or suppliers not honouring contracts and employment/personnel issues.

Webinar

In&nbsp;Enterprise Nation's first 'lunch and learn'&nbsp;webinar, Emma Jones speaks to Clive Rich, founder of LawBite.&nbsp;

Despite a career working for and on behalf of many major organisations, Clive has always had a passion for small businesses and entrepreneurship and has worked with many SMEs as a negotiator, shareholder and investor. He founded LawBite in 2011 when he realised that for many of the UK&rsquo;s 5 million small companies affordable, understandable law was difficult to find. In fact, whilst working for larger law firms he saw that many of them actively discouraged staff from taking on smaller clients.
