Over the Summer I've curated a mini series of some of my favourite episodes from the podcast so far. We revisit old episodes that have stayed rent-free in my brain! So whether this episode ends up being new for you or you get to enjoy it again years later, I hope you find it helpful.
In this episode I chat to Ingrid Fernandez who is a freelance consultant lawyer and I quiz her all about what small businesses need to do to be legal compliant in the UK.
She has lived and breathed commercial law for 10 years, working for both Magic Circle and boutique law firms. But she decided it was time to hang up her suit, swap board rooms for coffee shops and use what she'd learnt to help people starting out in business feel confident about legal things.
The entrepreneurs. The small business owners. The freelancers. The dreamers with big plans and sometimes small budgets, but a whole load of passion. That is who she want's to help and in the process she became a small business owner too.

01:20 – Meet Ingrid: her mission to make legal support accessible
