A contract practice built for how businesses actually work
Qualified solicitors doing one thing, and a structure that lets you buy exactly as much contract capacity as you need.
LegalRoad is a specialist contract practice. We operate as a virtual company, working on commercial agreements under the law of England and Wales — drafting them, reviewing them, negotiating them and resolving them when they fail.
Our consultants are qualified solicitors for England and Wales, with substantial commercial and corporate experience across telecoms, technology, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, defence and aerospace, automotive, energy, construction and government. Every one of them works on commercial agreements every day.
We do one thing
Everything we do is designed around two questions: does this reduce the client’s legal risk, and does it do so at a cost the client can plan for? That is why we work through outsourced contract lawyers rather than the traditional hourly-billing model, and why our pricing packages are published rather than quoted on request.
A UK-wide practice
Our head office is in Chertsey, Surrey, and because we work virtually we serve clients anywhere in the UK. An online nucleus of lawyers means where you are based makes no difference to how quickly we can respond.
Wherever your business is in the UK, we can take on your contract work. If that would be useful, please get in touch.
What clients actually want from us
Across corporates, SMEs and start-ups, the brief is consistent:
- Know what a contract actually commits them to, before it is signed
- Get agreements drafted that hold up when the relationship is under strain
- Stop losing negotiations to counterparties with bigger legal budgets
- Deal with a breach without it becoming litigation
- Make legal spend predictable enough to budget for
Our flexible solution
Our specialist lawyers work with your business on a virtual, on-call secondment basis, through a range of flexible financial models.
As an extension of your team, our lawyers cover a maternity leave, for example, or add an extra pair of hands to absorb additional workload — without you carrying a permanent hire.
As project support, you get immediate access to our lawyers for a matter that, for whatever reason, cannot be completed in-house — handled by people with the expertise, time and tools to do it properly.
The core benefit of using our legal outsourcing services is that you get the commercial, flexible approach of an in-house lawyer combined with the solid support and quality standards of an established legal services company.
