The new way to market your legal services

What is Lexoo?

Lexoo is the leading global curated legal marketplace. Lexoo launched in 2014 and is headquartered in London.

What type of service is Lexoo?

We are not a referral site or job board. We do not charge lawyers a fee to join our network or submit proposals through the platform. The lawyers on our platform are independent lawyers or lawyers working in boutique or mid-size firms. As such, we do not provide liability insurance. Our role is to pre-select high-quality lawyers to put forward to our clients, and we charge a fee for any legal work billed to a client introduced through the platform.

How does Lexoo work?

• Clients submit detailed requests for their legal needs on our website or directly to our Business Development team. We work closely with each client to understand their specific requirements.
• Lexoo then allocates the best suited lawyers to the enquiry using a combination of our matching algorithm and our legally-trained operations team’s understanding of the client and our lawyers’ expertise.
• We work with the lawyers to prepare their profiles and proposals in response to the client’s request. We build our network out like a top-tier international law firm and aim to cover the full range of business and commercial legal areas.
• The proposals are then submitted to the client for review, after which the client can engage directly with the lawyer(s) of their choice through the dashboard’s messaging system. Clients often request a no-obligation introductory call prior to engaging counsel.
• The client can request to hire the lawyer through their account. The lawyer will then prepare and send their terms of engagement through their Lexoo account, and send to the client for signature. Upon engagement, the client-lawyer relationship is direct and confidential, with Lexoo remaining involved for billing and payment.

What services do we provide to Lexoo clients?

Lexoo is a full-service solution for external legal support.

We provide support in the full range of business and commercial legal matters for corporate clients. We assist with the following:

• One-off legal projects: Whether it’s an NDA review, localisation of T&Cs;, or a large M&A; transaction, Lexoo’s global legal marketplace is a genuine alternative to international law firms for standalone projects in the UK and across numerous jurisdictions globally (for example, GDPR reviews, M&A; transactions)
• Ongoing external legal work: We help in-house legal teams manage projects by introducing them to external lawyers who can handle a regular stream of work (for example, regular contract reviews & negotiation of NDAs, ISDAs & software agreements)
• On and off-site interim lawyers: We help source interim solutions who can work in office or remotely. We can assist with part-time and leave covers, as well as full-time placements.

Our clients are corporate legal departments and in-house legal teams from a wide range of industries at businesses ranging from funded startups to FTSE 100 companies. Previous clients include VICE, Asos, WorldRemit, Babylon Health, and Makers Academy.

What types of lawyers are in the Lexoo network?
