Easy to say, hard to do. This means we are here for anyone frustrated by dealing with bl**dy lawyers, turning dread into relief.

What do we mean by putting the service into legal services? Our lawyers will not go AWOL. It is our commitment to working closely with clients and providing regular updates; something we call our ‘No chase pledge’. Our fixed fee options mean no surprise bills, and we will not bamboozle you with jargon. Our plain English promise means providing clear advice so you can make the right decision for your situation.

Our fresh service standards are underpinned by using industry-leading technology to improve how legal services are delivered.

And there’s more! Where possible we help clients act in a more sustainable way, reducing the impact of their operations too.

#4

Doing law differently means treating every client differently, taking time to clearly explain options and steps, and paying attention to individual needs. And above all else, being human and picking up the phone, not hiding behind email or ‘gate keepers’ which is how traditional legal services used to be.

Combine this with a smart and personalised service and we think you will notice the difference. 

As well as ‘being human’, finding innovative ways to provide legal advice, we also have a positive impact in our communities through volunteering, mentoring, sponsoring and fundraising. 

It’s very rewarding to legally guide clients through life’s milestones, like buying their first home, building a business, investing in company premises, or writing a will to protect everything that matters most to them.

Legal processes can seem like they are going on for ages.
