Success stories
Easily accessible, responsive and comprehensive legal partnership, covering our full range of business legal services.
A pro-active and accessible account manager, committed to understanding your business and satisfying your legal needs.
A curated team of partners and senior lawyers, many of whom have not only worked for some of the most highly regarded law firms in the UK, but also in businesses, usually as legal counsel but sometimes as senior leaders.
High quality, practical and commercially-focused legal advice, delivered in plain English.
Tiered packages with increasing discounts on our standard rates (which are typically £348 per hour for partners and solicitors, and £174 for trainees, legal assistants, and paralegals) depending on the value of the package you purchase, giving you control over your legal budget.
Transparent billing. We’re happy to scope each project and provide time estimates so there are no unexpected costs. Plus, you’ll receive monthly statements with line-by-line entries on the time spent on your projects and the value remaining on your plan.
Our Extend plan is designed for businesses with more complex and frequent legal needs, offering seamless support that integrates directly into your operations.
Whether you need specialist expertise to work as an extension of your in-house legal team or a reliable partner to handle your day-to-day legal work, Extend ‘plugs in’ to your business, allowing you to focus on high-level strategy and driving growth.
With our Extend plan, you’re not just outsourcing legal tasks — you’re gaining a trusted partnership and a team that’s committed to helping your business thrive. See an example of a curated Extend team below.
Including an initial 3-month trial period, your Extend plan runs for a rolling period of 12 months, with an option to renew or cancel at the end of that period. The cost of your chosen Extend package is invoiced quarterly in advance, and the value can be used towards projects across our full range of legal services on an hourly rate basis and towards our fixed fee products.*
| Extend packages | Plan value at Standard Rates | Equivalent partner / senior solicitor time | Extend Discount | Extend plan cost |
| Tier 3 | £20,880 | 60 hours | 28.16% | £15,000 |
| Tier 2 | £41,760 | 120 hours | 31.03% | £28,800 |
| Tier 1 | £69,600 | 200 hours | 33.91% | £46,000 |
| We also offer bespoke larger packages to suit your requirements | ||||
With our Extend plan, we commit to fostering an on-going partnership, and clients are encouraged to choose a package that aligns with their anticipated annual legal needs. If it is expected that more than 50% of the value in a package will be consumed within the first quarter, a larger package may be required.
While your legal needs may inevitably fluctuate throughout the year, the aim of this plan is that the value usage is distributed relatively evenly across the four quarters of the subscription year. If the value is used up sooner than the 12-month period, you can purchase a new package.
