A one-page briefing for counsel
Clients need a lawyer.
We help them find you.
legalese.me does not provide legal advice, and it is not trying to replace your existing practice systems. It is a simple way for people to invite you onto a document, agree a fee, and work together.
Early-access pilot: workflows and integrations are being rolled out in stages. We are keeping data collection minimal while validating fit.
What this is
- A connection. A client brings a contract (NDA, lease, MSA) and asks a real lawyer to review it.
- Your work, your name. You stay counsel. The platform holds the file, the comments, and the payment.
- A limited job. Review is scoped — not unlimited advice, not a guarantee the deal is risk-free.
What this is not
- Not software that replaces you.
- Not a demand that you “go digital” or abandon email and Word.
- Not a monthly SaaS bill while we are finding our feet.
How a job arrives
- 1
A client asks for you
Someone you know invites you — or a new client requests a review. You get an email. Nothing to install.
- 2
You open the document
One link. The contract is on the page. You read it the way you already read a brief.
- 3
You leave notes and decide
Comment, ask for changes, or approve — within the scope you agreed. A clerk or assistant can help with the clicks.
- 4
You get paid
The client pays a stated fee. We take 10% after card fees. The rest is yours. No monthly subscription.
If you are not “a tech person”
You do not need to be. The first version is meant to feel like opening an attachment: email, a page, your notes. A secretary, paralegal, or younger colleague can handle the login. You still do the law.
If that still feels like too much, you can stay on the list and we will keep the path simpler — including phone and email-first workflows — rather than asking you to learn a new tool.
Money, plainly
You (or the client) set a review fee. We take 10% after the card company. Example: a £750 review — most of that is yours. Early access is free. No obligation to take work.
Note you can forward
I’m putting together a simple way for clients to send you a contract, agree a fee, and get your review — without asking you to learn new software. One page explains it: legalese.me/for-lawyers
If it is useful, join the list as a lawyer. If it isn’t, ignore this. Either way, you remain the lawyer; nothing here replaces your judgement.
This briefing is for conversation, not a solicitor–client relationship and not an offer of legal services by legalese.me. Counsel remains responsible for their own advice, practising rules, and professional indemnity.
