"My Inhouse Lawyer has been an incredible asset to our business. Their team is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and always ensures that our legal needs are met in a timely efficient way. Moreover, there are no unpleasant surprises when it comes to billing so allows us to manage our budgets efficiently. Our nominated contact really does feel like they are part of our company and their breadth of experience is invaluable. With their proactive guidance, we've navigated complex situations seamlessly! In my view, My Inhouse Lawyer is the best way for SMEs to access good, experienced, commercially orientated lawyers."
Jennifer S, CEO

"The quality of their legal and commercial advice and the speed of turn around are what you might hope for from a top city firm. But without the extortionate fees. And with My Inhouse Lawyer they feel like an extension of your team which makes doing business so much easier."

"The successful sale of our business could not have happened without My Inhouse Lawyer at our side the whole way through. They took hold of an incredibly daunting and complex process and smoothed the path right to the end, helping me and my co-founders clearly understand everything that was going on. Most importantly, they really helped advise and guide us at key points – their counsel was seriously expert, but also human. Basically, top notch corporate legal firm calibre (knowledge, expertise, attention to detail, commercial nous) but delivered in a way that was approachable, to the point and flexible. They've honestly made me reappraise the entire legal industry!"
Simon M, CEO
HealthTech company
"A breath of fresh air. Responsive, knowledgeable and takes time to understand our business and priorities. Always meets time commitments and always delivers a clear and concise response. Because of the My Inhouse Lawyer business model I feel comfortable reaching out to our lawyer on a regular basis and 12 months on since we began working together, he’s very much a part of our senior team. This is a very different relationship compared to other legal firms I have worked with over a long number of years."
Michael L, CEO
InsureTech company
"Firstly let me say what a pleasure it has been to work with you both from the get-go, and how positive the change has been from moving from the use of an external counsel who would do as we asked (which we minimised) to having a genuine partner working as part of our team to lead and guide us (which we want to maximise)"
James B, Founder
Retail company
"We have loved working with My Inhouse Lawyer. Our Principal has been really proactive with identifying legal considerations and has been brilliant when needed to react to legal matters. Has quickly become a key member of our team and we have even invited her to our weekly leadership meeting and social events and really feels part of our team!"
Jon A, CEO
Technology company
"We have been using My Inhouse Lawyer for over two years, and the service we receive is excellent. We have a dedicated lawyer who is incredibly diligent and fully understands the time-sensitive nature of our work, reacting accordingly. The advice they provide is superb, and they are extremely commercially aware. I truly see them as part of our team."
Nicole M, FounderLogistics company
"My Inhouse Lawyer has been a phenomenal support to our business, and we would highly recommend the service. As a startup organisation, operating in a very fast paced and technical environment, we needed support and guidance to help build our legal foundations as well as to navigate a ‘tricky’ negotiation without full investment in-house counsel. Our Lawyer has delivered, exceeding expectations! They are extremely responsive, efficient and understanding whilst importantly being a genuine pleasure to work with!"
Richard M, CEO
FinTech company
"Throughout my career, I have had worked closely with many inhouse lawyers and external law firms and appreciate the value and peace of mind that an exceptional commercial lawyer can bring. When I set up Certino I looked for someone who would not only give advice when asked but who would proactively lead and guide us through the legal aspects of setting up and running a business. My experience with My Inhouse Lawyer has surpassed all my expectations"
Jamie R, CEO, Private Equity company
"Working with My Inhouse Lawyer has allowed us to secure and transact on acquisitions at speed with great comfort knowing the legals are taken care of by a very experienced lawyer who really understands our business and our vision. A very different experience to working with other law firms who take longer, cost more and where we end up with junior lawyers who lack experience and are not aligned with our vision."
Nils H, CEO
Media company
"We have worked with My Inhouse Lawyer on a few projects and I am incredibly impressed by the knowledge, experience, professionalism and approach. And, adding to that, we managed to achieve the objectives on all these projects. It has been an absolute pleasure working with My Inhouse Lawyer and I am definitely not changing to another law firm!"
Danny M, CEO
Software company
"I was very pleased that MIL were able to step in and act on my behalf in the sale of my company. I had intended to use my existing lawyer, however his aggressive attitude caused me to look elsewhere. Their approach was a breath of fresh air. They conducted negotiations in a sensible, pragmatic way and I would have no hesitation in recommending My Inhouse Lawyer to anyone wanting to sell their company. I had the interesting experience of being party to a conference call with the buyers lawyers and mine. What a revelation that was! Our lawyers were calm, reasonable, professional and understanding. Unfortunately, I could not say the same about the buyers lawyers. I would be happy to give a personal testimonial for any future clients of My Inhouse Lawyer."
Andy R, MD
Education company
"We tried using similar services to My Inhouse Lawyer before finding them and haven’t looked back. The whole experience has been seamless, they got to know our business and challenges and quickly felt like part of the team. The onboarding was great, and they’ve remained super-responsive since."
Jane H, MD
Technology company
"Now that the dust is starting to settle following the recent transaction excitement I wanted to write to let you know how grateful we were for the incredible support we received throughout the process. Our MIL lawyers made a formidable team and we all felt confident we were in very good hands from beginning to end. Chris really has the iron fist/velvet glove approach nailed down and we were so impressed with his calm wisdom and sensible approach to everything thrown at us by the buyers and their army of lawyers. He was completely unflappable (even when we flapped) and a calm voice of reason in and amongst the due diligence noise. Caroline has been our brilliant ally for many years and it was so good to have someone who knows us so well to guide us through this stressful process. You may have heard that the actual transaction happened at 60 seconds to midnight in a stressful flurry of old-school printing and signing in my kitchen. We will forever remember that night, particularly because of your team who were instrumental in getting the acquisition completed in five weeks and who were in the room to share the incredible experience with us."
Eric G, CEO
AI company
"It is a real pleasure to work with MyInHouseLawyer's team. Their professionalism and mindfulness on keeping the principle of value for money in an agile and adaptive way yielded above expectations outcomes against the common objectives we set out at our initial meeting with them. MyInHouseLawyer are a breath of fresh air to A.I. tech entrepreneurs needing legal support. Thank you."
Dan P, CEO
Media company
"The team at My Inhouse Lawyer helped smoothly navigate us through the complexities of our company sale. The buyer was a large global company with legal resources to match, yet the expertise and industry knowledge of the MIL team ensured the process was balanced throughout. Highly recommended"
Luke R, CEO
Manufacturing company
"Our lawyer has fitted excellently in with the team and brings a wealth of external expertise, owning her part in the company. It’s great that she thinks and speaks in terms of ‘us and ‘we’ rather than you’ or ‘your’ like most law firms. It really feels like she’s on our team."
Harsha S, CCOHealthcare company
"The MIL approach has been excellent. From the start, they’ve been keen to transfer knowledge to our teams so that we are empowered to self-implement, even though this would mean less work for them. Because of this, we have built up a lot of trust in them. The service has been really responsive and anytime I need to, I know I can pick up the phone to talk over broader areas. It really feels like we’re in it together. Very happy to have found them and looking forward to working together as we grow."
Kate F
HealthTech company
"MIL quickly understood our approach to the deal and their remit, which was to lead on the document negotiation whilst leaving the legal and financial due diligence to us. Quick to pick up on specific areas of risk and guide us on our approach to them. Their work throughout was meticulous, naturally pragmatic and tailored to our commercial needs. We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received from My Inhouse Lawyer and won’t hesitate to use them in the future."
Binit S
Fractional CFO
"My client required legal support for a corporate restructure across the UK, US and Ireland. I introduced My Inhouse Lawyer and we quickly realised how responsive they were. Beyond just the legal advice, they played a pivotal role in pulling together the respective advisors. Our lawyer hit the ground running, was super communicative and did not clock watch. My client was more than satisfied with MIL, informed me they will use MIL again and that they have no hesitation in recommending them to others. I too, have no hesitation in introducing MIL to all my clients."
Russell C, CEORecruitment company
"I used My Inhouse lawyer in connection with the sale of my company, having used them before on another matter. The deal went ahead on time with all matters resolved according to plan. I found them knowledgeable, informative, to the point and spoke in a language I could understand. We had some issues to resolve by the very nature of the agreement which they found a way of doing. I have no hesitation in recommending their services, I would, should the need arise use them again."
Rupert G, Director
Healthcare company
"Our principal is a pleasure to talk legals with: what can seem like a dry and functional subject can be fascinating, and empowering. I have no legal training, and I’m not a natural negotiator (in fact I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat) but, working with them through two or three tricky contractual negotiations has step-changed my understanding of what I need to look out for and, most important, of how to present a case using a compelling commercial perspective as leverage. That’s what I mean by empowering. They listen and knows how to tread the fine line between upholding the ‘letter of the law’ and working with our commercial realities. They also work with the human realities, and to the dynamic side of negotiations (i.e. they can be very responsive). It all means that together we carefully but quickly evaluate which risks we can accept, and which battles we need and can afford to fight. We are feeling a little bullish about the upcoming year and, all being well, I am looking forward to working with them on some new deals"
Dax M
Fractional CFO
"The client feedback on MIL was super positive. My client felt well supported, the lawyer was responsive and available when needed and they took a very commercial approach. In NPS terms, he said 100% and would be recommending them to others – as will I"
Andy J
Fractional CFO
"I recently used MIL for my client and it was an amazing experience for both myself and the client. We presented the details of the requirements to My Inhouse Lawyer and a couple of other law firms, this included a group restructure and an acquisition which required HMRC Approval. The lawyer we spoke to was very personable and knowledgeable and obviously had a huge amount of experience. Based on the connection we had with the lawyer and the cost savings available we appointed My Inhouse Lawyer, I was slightly sceptical at this point and had concerns that we would be charged for additional work at the end of the process. The whole project went seamlessly, the lawyer we worked with delivered everything that he said he would, and in the timeframe he quoted. The client has advised me that he would use My Inhouse Lawyer for any future transactions and I have now made the introduction to another client who are highly acquisitive. I would be happy to recommend My Inhouse Lawyer to any of my fellow CFOs."
Matt W, FD

"I would like to thank you for your services. Always very responsive to my requests, often responding even when travelling. Always have the answers I need, and deal with any queries in a very pragmatic way. Understand our business and our specific challenges extremely quickly. Provide a solution that offers value for money and is easy to understand. I would fully recommend your services to other businesses."
Roger C
Fractional CFO
"I’ve worked with MIL a number of times and have found you to be extremely responsive, very helpful, able to address the issue with a subject matter expert and excellent value for money, versus external counsel. The senior management of my clients, plus myself have found MIL a pleasure to deal with"
James L, MD

"Thank you for all of your legal support with the acquisition. Great working with you and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
Stuart H
Fractional CFO
"I would not hesitate to recommend My Inhouse Lawyer into my clients. They are an excellent choice for our clients and are a usually more suitable than introducing external law firms. The folks that I have worked with are high quality individuals who compliment the services we provide"
Ashleigh A, MD
Healthcare consulting
"Our principal clearly put in a lot of time to understand the business better than I assumed someone would be able to. They answer my odd questions that I send them, are very responsive via email, and I’ve been very impressed with their level of expertise. Something that also goes amiss with most companies/people – if they says they're going to do something, they do it. Even if it’s a flippant comment in the middle of a conversation (i.e. sending me a specific document) – they remember, and within half an hour after the call, they've sent it to me. They're pretty much the only service provider I don’t have to run around after and chase for things I was promised!"
Mike T
Fractional CFO
"They provided timely and cost-effective support throughout, and the deal successfully concluded. I have no hesitation in recommending My Inhouse Lawyer to my clients or other CFOs"
Graham R, MD
Manufacturing company
"Working with My Inhouse Lawyer was a great experience. They went out their way to keep the process simple and understandable, whilst ensuring the legal detail was attended to. Our lawyer kept me update to date and informed, was punctual and timely with replies and keeping the legal process moving forward, whilst ensuring the legal costs were not excessive or wasted."
Jeremy B, MD
Engineering company
"Following a recommendation, we engaged My Inhouse Lawyer for our business sale. We were impressed with how the company's professionalism and fair charging system supported us throughout this complex transaction. Our principal, a highly trained lawyer assigned to our business sale, confidently and professionally guided us through the gruelling process of due diligence and legal documentation. At every step of the journey, they were there to advise and answer questions, painstakingly bringing our sale to a timely conclusion. If you’re heading towards a commercial transaction, I would highly recommend MIL to take care of your legal transactions."
Dave R, MD
Industry Association
"We are in an industry that deals with a lot of regulations and processes. Having an MIL lawyer join our team has been outstanding. They understand our business (and related industries we work with) and their experience, expertise and guidance has been helpful to not only me but our entire team."
Haider M
Fractional CFO
"I have introduced MIL to a number of clients and always had excellent feedback on their professionalism and knowledge. Recently they helped a client complete a deal in time for a budget deadline. They were quick to understand what was needed and acted promptly. They were efficient and worked over and beyond"
John W, CEO
Professional services
"I just wanted to share some feedback on our lawyer – I couldn’t be happier with the work they are doing for us. Of course, their lawyering is excellent, but their responsiveness is absolutely first class – they really are a TNCer, and a great one too! Just this week, they have been on holiday and still helping me with a tricky contract – fabulous!"
Anthony L, MD

"My Inhouse Lawyer were extremely knowledgeable about this high-risk area [GDPR]. They quickly understood the fundamentals of our business model and were able to highlight where we could be exposed. I would highly recommend."
Colin M, CEO & Founder

Philip S, Director
Consulting company
"Our solicitor at My Inhouse Lawyer has been an extension of our team for the past 3 years. There whenever I need them, incredibly supportive to us and is the most experienced lawyer we’ve ever had. All at a sensible cost, where I welcome the invoices rather than fear them. Because we always know where we are with time and they are very reasonable with rates and never bill huge hours. I wouldn’t change anything about our legal support. My Inhouse Lawyer have saved us so much time and money, by protecting our business and helping us to understand how to make better decisions around how we contract with our clients."
Stuart B, MD
Manufacturing company
"We used MIL for legal services in relation to the acquisition of a UK business. They provided excellent support throughout the process. It all completed within appropriate timescales and budget. We also engaged them to prepare a shareholder’s agreement for the acquired business. Overall an excellent experience and we are delighted to have worked with them and will certainly do so again when and as the need arises. Highly recommended."

David H

"MIL provided a hands-on, cost-effective solution to my client to exit a key shareholder and restructure (into a group). Our client was enormously grateful that their engagement produced the outcome he had longed for but could not work out how to resolve"
Lance H, CEO, Manufacturing company
"We needed help with closing an accredited business asset sale with a very ambitious timeline and the end-of-year holiday season looming. From the moment we first contacted our Regional Director, we knew that we had found a group of people who could help us with every aspect of the sale. Sale agreements, property advice, even intellectual property rights – there was a seasoned expert available to cover every challenge. I particularly liked how they gave us a clear, no-nonsense engagement agreement and quote up-front that proved to be very precise. We concluded our transaction on-time, on-budget and stress-free."
Alex S, Director
Technology company
"We’ve just recently closed some significant opportunities that are milestones for the UK and have impact even broader than our geo. I’ve seen congratulatory emails circulating inside the company for the teams that won these – you and your work are a key contributor to that success. Being able to redline those agreements under tight deadlines, to negotiate legal issues with the opposing / client counsel in a constructive way, and sometimes to just put up with us on the sales team is something I sincerely appreciate. Thank you!"
Russ F

Sam Y, CEO

"Not only has My Inhouse Lawyer helped us in several aspects of building our start-up, there has been a real effort to get to know us and our business. Having a flexible legal solution that covers all bases has been exactly what we need during this period, and we have felt the same level of professionalism and attention for smaller tasks or larger projects. It really does feel like we have a true inhouse lawyer, which is exactly what our business needs"
Jon M MD

Steve L, CEO

Puneet S, CEO

"I am very pleased with how this all has worked out. It took us about 18 months to get these positive results, with delays due to the claimant. Our principal, however, always was on top of the game and ensured that no points or actions were missed that could weaken our case. They kept us informed and was always available when we had any questions. On the day of the hearing, it was evident from where they with their opening statement how learned and experienced they are in their field. Their arguments and statements were to the point and referenced legal clauses. As a result, the hearing that was scheduled for all day concluded in 30 minutes with positive results. This was only possible with out lawyer's experience and the homework they had done before the hearing. I hope not, but if there is another such tribunal issue in the future, I will not hesitate once to request MIL for their services."
Erik M

They worked alongside our executive team to negotiate and finalise the deal, then supported our operational team as we managed the contract. They are now fully embedded in our business, and we continue to use them as our General Counsel here in the UK, flexing up and down with our needs. They were able to communicate coherently and efficiently with our US legal team which meant a far more joined up approach than we had had before. Being able to turn to someone you trust, who knows your team and your business on a wide range of issues has been invaluable"
