For a subscription fee less than the cost of a 30 minute call with an attorney or HR professional, you'll have access to highly researched legal concepts and questions explained to you in approachable plain English. It's legal like you've never experienced before.
Stay updated with legal changes: Active subscribers to this course will have access to information about legal changes, and will receive at least two new or substantively updated lessons per month, on average.
Interact with a responsive instructor: Each module is open for student comments, which means you can ask questions about anything in the course for feedback from your instructor, and they'll actually respond to you.
Download high-quality resources: Instead of scouring the internet for templates and resources that may not be right for you, download ours and ask questions about their proper use.
