Background SME’s are more and more concerned with online issues. Online worlds are not exempt of legal obligations. =>SME developing online business must be aware and advised. Only few SME’s (and few lawyers) are up-to-date with online legal issues. =>it is necessary to inform.
A legal WIKI ? Best way to inform is WIKI because it is: Always online For everybody from any country Always active and enriched via contributors
How it works ? Legal definitions give a framework everybody can understand Using the framework : everybody can be proactive when developing a business strategy. everybody can analyse problems everybody can point out specific issues and avoid « simple » legal problems => It is essential for SME’s (lawyer clients)
How it works 2 ? From a lawyer’s point of view, it is useful too : clients are supposed to have been thinking before developing. =>if problems arise, they are minimized. Clients are already aware of vocabulary and kind of issues =>they understand what the lawyer explains. =>They understand why the lawyer advices to do this and not this in the future.
Is Lexelerator the ultimate ? It is not: SME’s are not lawyers. It is not: some problems are only revealed « when it is too late » for a basic solution But Lexelerator gives a basic helpful knowledge. =>Lexelerator and lawyers are complementary.
Can Lexelerator be upgraded ? It must ! New definitions (according to new online concepts and issues) must be provided. Lexelerator could be inescapable to be well-informed (Lexelerator should be the homepage of every SME’s !)
