The Law Department

Specialist Corporate and Commercial, Property, Employment, Retail and Litigation solicitors based in London, offering a tailor made in-house team without the associated overheads.


For start-ups and small to medium sized businesses, the challenge of attracting and retaining in-house lawyers with sufficient expertise at a reasonable cost can be daunting, if not impossible. Obtaining these services from law firms is obviously an option, but someone inside the company, who knows its needs and how to manage the lawyers, needs to remain involved - a task that takes time away from other responsibilities. However, the failure to pay close attention to legal and compliance issues is a risk that is too great to take.

To solve this difficult problem, The Law Department was formed to bridge the gap between having the overhead of a dedicated in-house team and the uncertainty and expense of external law firms - giving our clients the option to choose between one-off or ongoing services appropriate to their needs.
