HOW WE BILL

A smarter way to pay for business legal support

Most UK law firms bill by the hour (typically around £350 +VAT), so you only learn the running total when the invoice arrives. Lawyerly gives you ongoing access to experienced commercial solicitors for a fixed fee, with cost agreed upfront. Clients save up to 75% in legal fees.
Based on annual legal spend at hourly rates before subscribing.

    What is Lawyerly?

    Lawyerly is a modern legal service for UK businesses. Instead of paying by the hour, you pay a fixed monthly fee and get ongoing access to a dedicated commercial solicitor for your business. We handle the day-to-day commercial legal work most SMEs need: contracts, employment, corporate governance, IP and trade marks, privacy and compliance, and everyday legal advice.

    Are you regulated by the SRA?
    Absolutely. Our solicitors are all qualified and  individually regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) - the body that oversees solicitors in England and Wales. They're held to the same standards as solicitors at traditional law firms and we carry professional indemnity insurance that protects clients in the unlikely event something goes wrong.
    What's covered in my subscription?

    Our subscription plans include all the commercial legal work most UK businesses need on a regular basis: contracts (with customers, suppliers and partners), employment law and HR, company governance, intellectual property and trade marks, data protection and compliance, and general legal advice across the business.

    Is "unlimited" really unlimited?
    Yes. Your subscription gives you unlimited access to your solicitor whenever you need them. Ask as many questions as you like, get as many contracts reviewed as you need, and have as many calls with your solicitor as you want - all included in the monthly fee. We don't count minutes, count queries, or charge extras. The only exception is bigger projects like a company sale, which we handle as separate fixed-fee project agreed in advance.
    What is not included in my subscription?

    A few areas sit outside the subscription: court cases, criminal defence, immigration, property buying and selling, regulated financial advice, complex tax planning, and personal matters for directors or shareholders. Big one-off projects like company sales or acquisitions are handled as separate fixed-fee work alongside your subscription — same team, agreed cost up front. Any third-party costs (like court or registry fees) are passed on at cost, with nothing added on top.

    Will a qualified solicitor handle my work?
    Yes. You're paired with one qualified, SRA-regulated solicitor whose experience fits your business. They handle everything you send us, get to know how your business works, and stay your main point of contact. Behind the scenes, they can pull in expertise from the wider team, but your advice always comes from your solicitor.
    How quickly do you respond?
    We respond to new requests within 24 hours. Most routine work such as advice, contract reviews and drafting comes back within 7 days, often sooner. For bigger projects or more complex work we agree a timeline up front. And if something's urgent, tell us and we will do our best to prioritise it and work on it straight away.
    How do I work with my solicitor day to day?

    Your Client Hub is the central place for your subscription. You can book calls or video meetings with your solicitor, open and track legal projects, share documents securely and message us on live chat. Email and phone are available too. 

    Why are you more affordable than traditional firms?
    Traditional firms bill by the hour, with all the overheads of city offices and large support teams built into those rates. We work remotely, use the latest technology, and focus only on commercial work for UK businesses. One flat monthly fee, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Most clients spend less with us in a year than they'd spend at a traditional firm on one significant matter.
    What's the difference between the plans?
    All subscription plans include the same commercial legal services. What changes is the volume and complexity of work each plan is calibrated for. Accelerate suits earlier-stage businesses with occasional legal work. Scale fits businesses with regular commercial activity and increasing legal needs. Enterprise is for established businesses with a steady stream of legal work and more complex demands. Use the quote tool above find the right one for your business.
    Is a legal subscription tax-deductible for my UK business?

    Yes. The monthly fee is a deductible business expense for your UK company. VAT applies and is reclaimable if you're VAT-registered.
