A new NordSys agent · Published 8 June 2026
Every business needs a lawyer. Now every business can afford one.
Most small businesses don't have a lawyer on call. At £250 to £400 an hour, billed in six-minute blocks, the day-to-day questions never get asked. Suppliers' terms get signed unread. Cancellation clauses go toothless. That slow build-up of weak contracts is where most SME legal risk actually lives.
What changes
A virtual legal counsel changes the shape of that gap.
Always on.
Ask at 11pm on a Sunday. The answer is there.
No meter running.
The small questions finally get asked.
Advice that's current.
Looks up live legislation and case law before answering. Not memory, not guesswork.
Already inside your business.
A member of your team, not an outsider. Knows your suppliers, your standard terms, your operating context before the question even lands.
Proactive, not reactive.
Tracks changes in legislation and flags how they affect your contracts and your business, before you have to ask.
Acts on your behalf.
Has its own email address. Follows up with suppliers, customers and authorities autonomously, while keeping you and your team in the loop on every move.
What it covers
The day-to-day legal work that builds up — handled.
Contract review. T&Cs. Supplier disputes. Employment offers. GDPR sense-checks. Cancellation fairness. Late-payment letters with teeth. Court work still routes to a traditional firm; a good virtual counsel tees those up.
The cost shape
One fixed monthly fee, sized to your business.
No NI. No holiday pay. No training. No partner profit share. The price doesn't move because a question is "complicated" or because it's a Friday at five.
UK law only. Cross-border issues are flagged as "human lawyer needed" rather than answered.
If that's the gap your business has been carrying, get in touch.
