Our Clients are business leaders who seek to work with quick-thinking and creative problem-solvers. Lawyers who get things done, who help clients learn and are trusted to tell them what they need to hear. Our clients expect us to find and advocate the positive option in any given situation, so that they feel empowered to make progressive, impactful decisions.

Mercurae is for businesses who want and need regular legal advice in order to manage current and future legal challenges and opportunities. Businesses who are not yet of a size to justify the cost of a full service in-house team, or prefer a more flexible solution.

Who We Work With

We are a business law outsourcing service that acts as your in-house counsel, without the need to employ full-time lawyers.

We deliver high quality, integrated legal services to businesses, driving efficiency by using the best cloud-based technology, to provide care and support without the cost of hiring full-time in-house counsel. 

Many of our clients are companies that have grown to the point where they need and want regular legal advice and guidance but have not yet reached the stage where they need or wish to afford a full-time in-house lawyer. They recognise that they have been instructing lawyers in a reactive way, rather than having the tools and support to manage proactively the day to day legal aspects of their business and the associated risk. This proactive approach builds value in our client’s businesses for the future. 

Legal services have changed much less in the past 100 years than most other professions. Lawyers are trained to be inherently conservative; law generally evolves slowly; and until recently, computers couldn't read or write - so why change? The answer is simple - because we can do better! 

Our technology-led adventure will continue to grow as we grow, for the benefit of you and us. Partnership.

Lawyers as innovators

  • Work with LIKE-MINDED clients

  • Use TECHNOLOGY to make it as EASY AS POSSIBLE for you to involve us directly in all things ’legal’ in your business

  • Provide you with an online portal for all your contracts and commitments, and so to build your ‘data room’, and in turn your corporate memory, as you grow

  • FAIRLY and TRANSPARENTLY share with you the risk of unforeseeable changes in scope
