Founder & Group CEO
Sets the direction of the group: strategy, technology, product, marketing and finance, and leads the move from one firm to a platform for many.
We are Utterly
A legal-tech company that builds law firms.
Utterly builds, owns and runs specialist law firms for UK consumers. Each firm covers one field of law on a fixed fee, and our technology does the heavy lifting. One firm is live today. Three more are in build.
Settlement Agreement Solicitors
Employment Law Solicitors
No-Fault Divorce
CCJ Removal
About Utterly
One model, every firm.
Settlement Agreement Solicitors is our first firm and our proof that the model works. It launched at the end of 2020 and is now ranked number one in Trustpilot's Employment Attorney category, with more than 8,500 reviews.
We are now taking what we learned and applying it to new areas of law. The recipe stays the same every time: one specialism, one clear fixed fee, and the BriefCase platform handling everything that does not need a lawyer.

The technology
A legal-tech company, not a law firm with software.
BriefCase is the platform we built in-house. It runs case management and the AI behind every matter, so our solicitors spend their time on the law and on the client rather than on admin.
We build it once and run it across every firm. A new practice inherits the whole platform from day one, which is how a small team delivers high-quality service at scale.
Our people
Built around the client.
