Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Version 1.1 · Last updated 15 May 2026

We are committed to conducting our business responsibly and ethically. That includes taking steps to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in our business and in our supply chains.

This Statement explains our approach, the areas where we consider risk may arise, and the practical steps we take to reduce that risk.

We may update this Statement from time to time, where reasonably necessary.

We believe that everyone has the right to work freely, safely, and with dignity. We act with integrity in our business relationships and maintain systems and controls to help identify, prevent, and respond to modern slavery risks.

We do not tolerate modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, or child labour in any part of our business. We expect the suppliers and service providers we work with to uphold lawful, ethical, and responsible working practices.

Lawyerly Ltd provides subscription-based and fixed-fee legal services to businesses in the United Kingdom through a technology-enabled model.

Our supply chain is relatively limited and consists mainly of technology providers, professional advisers, software and infrastructure providers, and other business service suppliers. Even so, we recognise that no sector or organisation is automatically free from modern slavery risk, and we take a proportionate and ongoing approach to vigilance.

We support our commitment through policies, procedures, and working practices that promote lawful and ethical conduct across our business and supply chain. These include:

  • fair recruitment and employment practices, including voluntary employment, lawful terms, and the right to leave employment in accordance with contractual terms;

  • supplier onboarding and review processes designed to assess whether suppliers meet expected legal, ethical, and compliance standards;

  • internal reporting routes that encourage concerns to be raised without fear of retaliation; and

  • a broader commitment to responsible governance, compliance, and risk management across our operations.

Where appropriate and proportionate, we may review supplier information, contractual protections, or other available indicators to help assess modern slavery risk.

We aim to ensure that relevant team members understand the importance of identifying and responding to modern slavery risks. This may include internal guidance, awareness measures, or training relevant to the nature of a person’s role and responsibilities.

We encourage team members to raise concerns if they become aware of conduct that may indicate exploitation, forced labour, trafficking, coercion, or other serious labour abuses. Where concerns are raised, we will consider them appropriately and take proportionate follow-up action, which may include internal review, further enquiries, escalation, or reconsideration of supplier relationships where necessary.

Tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-off exercise. We review this Statement and our related practices regularly, and aim to improve our approach over time as our business, supplier relationships, and risk profile develop.

Our aim is to maintain a practical and proportionate response that reflects the size of our business, the nature of our services, and the expectation of continuous improvement reflected in modern slavery reporting guidance.
