ROOM TO GROW

Need more legal support?

If you need more than four hours in a month—or additional support on a regular basis—we can continue at a subsidised subscriber hourly rate. The rate and scope will be agreed with you in advance.

Discuss your requirements

The subscription provides legal advice and solicitor work, not financial, tax, investment, accountancy or general business consultancy. All support is subject to matter acceptance, conflicts checks, our areas of expertise and the agreed scope of engagement.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple to start. Clear from day one.

Apply in a few minutes. We will review your business needs and confirm whether the subscription is the right fit before anything is agreed.

THE BUSINESS CASE

Consistent access to legal support.

Traditional hourly billing can make businesses hesitate before asking a solicitor. A defined monthly allocation encourages earlier conversations, better legal housekeeping and fewer avoidable surprises.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

The essentials before you apply.

Who is the subscription for?

It is designed for small and medium-sized businesses that need regular legal support without the cost of employing an in-house legal team.

Who carries out the work?

The legal work is carried out by qualified solicitors at Ballantines LLP. It is solicitor work—not a non-legal service supervised from a distance.

What does the monthly fee include?

Up to four hours of solicitor work each month across agreed business legal matters. This can include the usual day-to-day legal advice, documents and negotiations your business needs. We will confirm scope and priorities with you before work begins.

Is this legal advice?

Yes. The subscription provides legal advice and solicitor work from qualified solicitors. It does not include financial, tax, investment, accountancy or general business consultancy.

What if we need more than four hours?

If you need extra legal support in a particular month, or regularly as your needs grow, we can provide it at a subsidised subscriber hourly rate. We will agree the rate and scope with you in advance.

How does the launch rate work?

The first 100 accepted businesses can join at £500 per month for the first six months, subject to a six-month minimum commitment and the subscription terms. The standard monthly rate is £1,000.
