GO FROM LIKELY TO BE SUED
TO CONFIDENT ONLINE BUSINESS

WITH PLAIN LANGUAGE LEGAL STRATEGIES

Don’t Put Your Business At Risk any longer

In 2016 the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board reported that 89% of consumers avoided companies that they felt did not adequately protect their privacy, with 45% of respondents more worried about online privacy now than they were a year ago. In COVER YOUR ARSE ONLINE, I’ll show you how to put in place privacy protections, manage personal information and create a better experience for your customers.

Where to Look for Legal Answers

There is so much information on the internet, how do you know what to trust? I’ll show you the exact tools I use to check out the companies I do business with, and their online assets.

Bonus Legal Templates and Checklists

These resources will reduce the pain of trying to work out what is right for you. Don’t go it alone – follow the lead of someone who’s been there, done that.

WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR

Part-timers

For everyone who has started to build a business in their ‘spare time’ around your day job, gain some peace of mind by getting the fundamentals in place, rather than running the risk of having to start from scratch just before launch, like the case study we look at on page 10.

Entrepreneurs

Its exciting to think you have the next ‘unicorn’, but how do you protect your ideas while you’re looking for investment and support? From page 69 we start looking at the different ways you can protect your ideas so you can get out there with confidence.

Small Business

Finding customers is hard enough without ticking them off with sloppy online communications. We go through the simple steps you can put in place to be anti-spam compliant and keep your existing customers and new leads happy from page 115.

Medium Enterprise

Just big enough to have regular legal issues but not quite big enough to employ a lawyer in house. Understanding all your key contracts is key to smooth operation and we provide some basic skills for your team from page 195.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Jeanette Jifkins, Commercial Lawyer, Professional Board Director and Presenter, and founder of Onyx Online Law.

In the past ten years I’ve worked with hundreds of online business owners to relieve the stress that people often feel when confronted with legal issues.

Through working closely with business owners using plain language and searching out achievable solutions, I developed the guidelines and strategies you find in Cover Your Arse Online: A Guide To Protecting Your Online Business Assets.

It’s so much easier to put strategies in place before you get sued than to go through the headaches and heartaches of legal proceedings. Don’t wait until something goes wrong.

If you are like a lot of people in small business, it’s difficult to know where to start if you don’t even know what legal issues could affect your business. The object of this book is to help you recognise where there might be risks to your business, and then to make an informed decision about what you can do to protect it. I hope this book will help you do just that.

For questions about the book, or requests for interviews, speaking engagements, or workshops with your team, please contact me at support@coveryourarseonline.com.

Thanks
