William Jackson Food Group

Paul is really flexible in terms of when he can pick things up, There are other clients, but he makes sure he keeps us informed when there’s other things he’s having to juggle. [There is] that balance of giving us the clear legal view, but being able to recognise the commercial aspects as well.
He’s able to put everything into layman’s terms as well; it’s not all legal speak that the rest of us don’t understand.

Ascot Lloyd Independent Financial Advice

It’s so much more productive for me to have [TLD] and to be able to scale and flex the resource that I use from them than it was doing the same in a more traditional law firm. It’s light years away from what I had before.

Sketchers Logo. The Legal Director

The Legal Director started with us four years ago. I just know I can rely on them to deal with all my UK work – which is hugely important as I am California-based. We first used them because our existing providers were becoming far too expensive. We simply wanted a more cost-effective solution but without compromising the quality. Not only is TLD is less costly, they also provide far more commercial value to me and my team.

Knight Security Group Logo. The Legal Director

We really have saved money in comparison to using a traditional law firm – and sometimes very significantly. I can point to instances where we might have paid a quarter of what we would have paid to an external firm, and achieved a better outcome, and received better service.
