Lizzie Cook
Consultant Solicitor
I believe in getting to know our clients’ businesses so that I really understand the key issues and legal risks they face. This enables me to provide legal and commercial advice that genuinely adds value - not just from a compliance perspective but in a way that supports each business’ wider objectives.
After six years in a large City law firm, I’ve spent over a decade in Head of Legal and General Counsel roles in-house at UK and international fashion brands. Most recently, I’ve specialised in technology law, supporting Microsoft Partners as their retained counsel in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
My broad in-house experience has given me valuable insights into the realities of running a business and the importance of balancing legal risk with commercial imperatives. I understand that effective legal support goes beyond legal principles - it’s about finding ways to enable success and foster growth.
I’m dedicated to finding a different approach to legal services. One that provides ongoing legal support to clients that integrates seamlessly into their day to day operations, whilst at the same time providing certainty on costs, efficiency and good value. That’s why I love Mercurae’s model, fostering long-term partnerships to empower our clients to make informed decisions and achieve sustainable growth.
