Larger businesses have the financial reserves and resilience to withstand the disruptions caused by legal disputes meaning that they can often be better managed than by small businesses who are more vulnerable to sudden shocks, not only financial but also in terms of time that they need to dedicate in preparation. Larger businesses are often able to call on in-house legal expertise whereas for small businesses, and in particular micro businesses, resources are dedicated to running their business. Therefore, it is not surprising that larger businesses are better able to anticipate and address any legal disputes.
