Subscriptions run on a 12-month basis, with a 3-month break clause. We'll be upfront about why: because there are no caps on how much you use your solicitor, the annual term is what makes that possible. It means costs even out across the year - the quieter months balance the busy ones, and you never have to ration advice based on how much activity you've had that month.

In practice, most clients find they use us more than they expected. A question here, a contract there, a situation that needs thinking through - it adds up, and the subscription makes all of it straightforward. If your circumstances genuinely change, the break clause at three months gives you a fair exit point. We'd always rather have an honest conversation about what's working than hold someone to a contract that no longer fits.

You'll have a named, dedicated solicitor assigned to your business - someone who gets to know how you operate, who your key people are, and what matters to you commercially. That's the same person you'll deal with each time, not whoever happens to be available.

All Lawyerlink solicitors are qualified and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). They're employed directly by us - we're not a marketplace, a panel, or a referral service. The solicitor who handles your work is accountable to us and to the SRA.

With hourly billing, the clock starts the moment a solicitor picks up the phone. A contract review can cost £500–£1,500 at standard rates. A dispute that runs for a few weeks can reach five figures before you've had a chance to weigh up whether it's worth continuing. Most business owners respond by putting off legal advice until something becomes unavoidable - which usually makes it more expensive to fix.

A subscription changes that calculation. One fixed monthly fee, and you contact your solicitor whenever you need to without thinking about the cost of the conversation. Legal support becomes a normal part of running your business, not an emergency spend you try to avoid.
