Innovative & alternative
We've been trading since February 2022 and are making steady strides in the marketplace as a legal provider of choice for new and established businesses and consultancies alike.
New is a legal consultancy, not a law firm. Law firms are heavily regulated and must adhere to strict rules, compliance procedures and insurance requirements, which come with high operating costs. This partly explains why they are often rigid and expensive.
The legal services that New and its network of consultants offer, including commercial and corporate legal services, and compliance solutions, fall outside of the ‘reserved activities’ set out in the Legal Services Act 2007 (LSA), and are therefore ‘unreserved activities’ or ‘non-reserved activities’. This means that we are free to practice those areas of English law without being required to be regulated and authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
We comply with all applicable laws, however we aren’t regulated and restricted by the regulations imposed on law firms. This means we can be innovative in our approach.
We shape our solutions, pricing, and business model around you, because we have that flexibility.
