Making Legal Services More Human: My Approach

Award-Winning Barrister & Commercial Contracts Lawyer | Podcaster | Founder of No7 Legal Services | Champion of Heart-Led & Innovative Businesses
I love what I do! It is really rewarding to see how much my clients appreciate my approach to legal work. I want to share my perspective on making legal services more approachable and less intimidating.
Building Trust and Understanding
I believe that the foundation of a good lawyer-client relationship is?trust. I prioritise?connecting with my clients?on a personal level, showing them that I care about their concerns. Building this rapport helps to create a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard and understood. Kayleigh, one of my clients (and the talented photographer of that picture!) highlighted this in her testimonial, saying my?"compassionate personality helps you feel well cared for as a client."
Clear Communication: No Legal Jargon!
For many, legal jargon can feel like a foreign language! That's why I'm dedicated to?explaining legal concepts in simple, easy-to-understand terms. I want my clients to feel confident in their understanding of their rights and obligations. Several clients, including Rachel and Sue, have commended my ability to?explain things clearly and concisely without overwhelming them with "legal speak".?This clear communication is crucial for building trust and empowering clients to make informed decisions about their legal matters.

Personalised Solutions, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every client and situation is unique, and cookie-cutter solutions rarely work. I take the time to?understand each client's specific needs and tailor my services accordingly.?For example, when working with Sue, who needed contracts for her various business services, I provided her with?four different contracts, each meticulously drafted to address the unique aspects of her client interactions. This personalised approach ensures that my clients receive the most effective and relevant legal solutions for their specific circumstances.
Efficiency, Transparency, and Peace of Mind
Time and money are valuable resources, and I respect that. I'm known for my?efficient and transparent working style.?I provide?upfront pricing structures and realistic timelines?so that clients know what to expect. I'm also committed to delivering?high-quality work with quick turnaround times.?Darren, a client who hired me to update his company's terms and conditions, praised my efficiency in navigating a potentially lengthy negotiation with a multinational company. He also mentioned my?straightforward pricing structure and realistic timescales.?This commitment to efficiency, transparency, and clear communication not only saves my clients time and money but also provides peace of mind knowing their legal matters are being handled diligently and expertly.
Empowering Clients Through Knowledge
My ultimate aim is to?empower my clients.?I believe that when individuals and businesses understand their legal rights and obligations, they can make better decisions and protect their interests. By breaking down complex legal concepts and providing personalised solutions, I strive to make the legal process more accessible and less daunting.
