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.
Know the cost before you commit, so it fits into your monthly, quarterly or project budget.
A subscription typically costs less than a traditional firm would bill for one significant matter.
We get paid the same whether the work takes two hours or ten. So we focus on getting it done properly.
Speak to your solicitor without every call, email or review becoming another billable unit.
The fee stays the same whether you've got one matter on your desk or twelve.

Fantastic on our commercial property lease negotiation. Quick replies, proactive reviews, and a fraction of the cost of typical firms.

David is a corporate and commercial solicitor whose practice spans complex commercial contracts, regulatory compliance, ESG, and crisis management across multiple jurisdictions. Qualified in 2014, he spent over 17 years in-house at one of the world's largest hospitality groups, rising to Senior Counsel for EMEA and advising the business through its transition from private equity ownership to public listing and the spin-off of three separately listed entities.
As Senior Solicitor and Legal Services Director at Lawyerly, David brings the depth of big-company legal practice directly to scaling SMEs. He simplifies complex commercial arrangements, builds legal frameworks that grow with the business, and steers clients through the regulatory and reputational pressures that come with scale. His in-house grounding means he reads commercial context as fluently as legal risk, delivering the rigour of a global legal function without the overhead of a traditional firm.

Ashrelle is a commercial solicitor who built her practice at Browne Jacobson LLP, a leading UK national law firm, advising private and public sector clients on contracts, IP, and procurement.

As Commercial Solicitor at Lawyerly, Ashrelle focuses on practical commercial advice for growing businesses, building the long-term client relationships that turn legal counsel into trusted partnership. She is as comfortable reviewing a software agreement as steering a complex procurement, and her employment expertise lets her advise on the people-side issues that sit alongside the commercial ones, keeping clients covered across the full picture of their business as it scales.

Willem began his career with a foundation in law before moving into business and communication. He led two advertising agencies through significant digital change and spent years as a digital publisher before moving into the international development sector, working on programmes across South East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
At Lawyerly, he brings a marketer's instinct for clarity and a strategist's eye for how organisations grow. His training spans AI business strategy at MIT alongside formal studies in law and marketing, which means he thinks carefully about how legal services need to evolve to meet the real needs of modern businesses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. The monthly fee is a deductible business expense for your UK company. VAT applies and is reclaimable if you're VAT-registered.
