My name is Mark Sherwood-Edwards and I’m on a mission to rid the world of second-rate, lazy, not-value-for-money B2B lawyering.

If you run a business, then I’m here to do two things for you. Firstly, to optimise the legals of your business so that they really contribute to taking the business forward. Secondly, to make sure your business is set up to avoid any lurking disasters.

Like most lawyers, I started off by working in law firms. I then realised that I could add more value (and have more fun) by moving in-house. That’s important because in-house lawyers look at the world differently to law firm lawyers. They understand how the different elements of the business need to come together to create successful outcomes.  And they have, from lived experience, a much better understanding of what really works.

How am I different? Most lawyers are like taxis. If you ask them to take you to Waterloo, that’s what they will do, and they will charge you by the hour for however long it takes to get there. I’m much more likely to say “Why do you want to go to Waterloo?”. And if that’s the best destination for you, “why don’t you go by tube? It’s faster and cheaper.” In other words, I’m there to add value for you, rather than just add value for me.

I don’t expect you to take my word for the value I can add.  Click here to read testimonials of businesses I’ve helped.
