Virtual legal outsourcing
LegalRoad gives you a qualified commercial lawyer on tap, working remotely alongside your business. Retained by nationally recognised businesses, established SMEs and emerging start-ups alike.
Outsourcing legal services
Remote working has helped market leaders improve productivity, shorten turnaround times and cut cost. Businesses have proved they can run legal work successfully on a virtual basis — provided the technology, and the lawyers, are good enough.
Our legal outsourcing services are built around that. A range of online channels lets your people, our lawyers and your contractors work together from anywhere, staying in constant contact without diluting the quality of what gets delivered.
How you use us is your call: a one-off matter, or ongoing virtual support alongside your business.
Our services cover your corporate, commercial and business requirements, so you can focus on your core business. You get immediate access to a portfolio of specialist lawyers — for day-to-day legal management, periodic statutory and regulatory updates to your documentation, or ad hoc special projects such as strategic implementation and improvements to corporate structures.
The bigger the gain, the bigger the risk. It is worth assessing that risk carefully before you take the plunge.
We give your business a robust risk assessment on its legal documentation and legal compliance, then build an internal control system to identify and reduce the risks inherent in your activities — so a risk-reduction plan is in place before you need it.
Setting up an internal legal team, or recruiting a specialist legal adviser, is a long and expensive process. Our fixed-fee packages give you access to the same expertise inside a budget you set in advance. See the packages and rates.
You get access to a broad portfolio of business and corporate legal consultants who can be brought into your company as and when needed, working virtually, to handle legal, operational and compliance matters. Every consultant is a qualified lawyer with deep corporate, SME and start-up experience.
Who we work with
The same portfolio of lawyers, packaged three different ways — because a listed corporate, a 40-person SME and a pre-seed start-up do not need the same thing.
In-house legal departments are carrying heavier workloads against tighter budgets, while still having to contain risk in a shifting regulatory environment. Cutting cost usually means accepting weaker work. We help corporate in-house teams reach top-quality outcomes on flexible, competitive pricing instead.
Corporate servicesSuccessful SME leaders spend a substantial share of income making sure the business meets its objectives lawfully and safely — and still struggle to match reliable legal support to a strict budget. We phase support in to suit your cash flow, covering regulation and compliance, documentation, employment matters, disputes and litigation.
SME servicesStart-ups have the hardest time balancing quality legal input against a bootstrapped budget. Specialist advice is most urgently needed exactly when money is scarcest. Our fixed-fee packages get your venture off the ground with the right documentation, agreements and protections in place.
Start-up servicesWhy outsource
Our specialist lawyers work with your business on a virtual, on-call secondment basis, through a range of flexible financial models.
They slot into your team the way an in-house lawyer would — covering a maternity leave, absorbing a workload spike, or taking on a project that cannot realistically be handled in-house. You get people with the expertise, the time and the tools to do it properly.
What you get is the commercial, flexible approach of an in-house lawyer combined with the support and quality standards of an established legal services company. Read more about who we are.

Our lawyers have advised across telecoms, technology, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, defence and aerospace, automotive, energy, construction and government.
Client reviews
“We had a very positive and successful experience. The staff were very competent and gave us lots of time and attention. Our dispute was sorted in a short space of time and very successfully.”
“I would definitely recommend them and am very glad I came across them. They really do put a lot of attention and care into your case. The communication is very clear — you are kept up to date but not bombarded with emails, and when there is a decision to make you get clearly laid out options with their pros and cons.”
“If you need legal advice and professional representation, Legal Road provided it for us. In a time of need they gave us advice, support and guidance right until the end, every step of the way.”
“Great service, great communication. Highly recommend.”
