About us
Using web technology to cut your legal fees
Everyone wants sound legal advice, but no one wants to pay over the odds for it. So we've harnessed the speed and power of the internet to give you low-cost, fixed-fee legal services that you can tap into any time, day or night.
The savings come from using Rapidocs®, a technology that creates an instant online draft of your legal document. As you work through our online questions, you can see your document developing on the screen in front of you.
To keep your costs firmly under control, you choose the type of fixed-fee service (Self-serve, Legal Review, or Lawyer Service) that suits your circumstances.
Self-serve
The easiest way to create the legal documents you need:
- Draft your own document by answering a series of straightforward questions
- Plain English explanations and guidance notes help you understand the issues
- Work at your own pace: store, manage, track and print your document online
Legal Review
The speed and simplicity of Self-serve plus:
- Send your document to our legal team for legal review and approval
- Your lawyer reviews and will let you know any changes that are needed to suit your situation
Lawyer Service
The speed and simplicity of Self-serve plus:
- Send your document to your chosen law firm for legal review and approval

Resolve complex legal issues at low hourly rates
If your affairs turn out to be too complicated for our fixed-fee service, you can ask for one-to-one advice at predefined low rates. And if you've already chosen a lawyer, you can save time and money by continuing to deal with the same one.
Some legal issues are so unusual or so urgent, it makes sense to talk direct to a lawyer from day one. Our Find me a lawyer service will help you choose a firm that understands your situation. They'll give you a quotation before they start work, but you're not obliged to accept.
