Tailor-made sports & culture legal services
Commercial Law
If it’s related to contracts, structuring or business compliance – it’s our bag, baby. We do the day to day contracts which keep your business ticking, but we’re also experts in company structuring, and investor readiness.
Intellectual Property Law
If you’re a modern business, then you have some form of intellectual property which is valuable to you. And that value needs to be protected. Your trademark needs to be protected, your secret-sauces kept secret and your IP structured in a way which works. Chat to us. This is our jam.
Data Law
If your business collects or uses personal data (and that’s all of us), then data protection laws are applicable to you. Join the hundreds of clients who’ve trusted Legalese to guide them on the journey to data compliance.
Labour Law
Any business owner will tell you, managing your team is often the toughest part of running a business. We can’t help you pick your team, but our labour legal team can make sure their contracts are drafted, policies are formalised and if something goes wrong, we’re here to help with that too.
TRUSTED BY TOP COMPANIES
Why Legalese?
Upfront
fees
We quote before we start working, ensuring that you never get an invoice which you were not expecting. By committing to a fee, we align ourselves with our clients, so we’re both incentivised to work efficiently and correctly. Our belief is that legal fees should be affordable and transparent and we’re leading a movement bringing this ethic to the legal practice.
Quick turnaround
time
Lawyers are traditionally sluggish. We’re a breathe of fresh air. Our systematic approach to our work means we deliver work quickly and never ghost our clients while they wait. Imagine a lawyer who understands customer service, uses technology to communicate and gets work to you within 7 – 10 days (or sooner if needed). Now open your eyes.
Humans,
not lawyers
We built Legalese to address the problems with traditional law firms. We’re not suits, we’re not billable hours. We’re here to ensure you have a lawyer by your side while you build your business. Our lawyers are handpicked not just for their smarts but for their understanding of business and the entrepreneurial journey. In that way, we’re humans, not lawyers.
We understand
sports and law
It doesn’t help to have a lawyer who always says ‘no’. Our lawyers think creatively and design solutions which stick to the rules, but get the job done. We bring to the table our knowledge of your industry and our team’s years of experience, to ensure that we’re forward thinking, yet grounded in law. Its why we call ourselves a creative legal agency.
