Keeping legal advice within reach

The UK legal system is extremely unequal, unbalanced, and unfair. We’re here to change that.

3.6 million SME's in England and Wales have unmet legal needs

Small businesses have no choice but to take on legal issues themselves. Did you know the UK is ranked 79th in the world for affordable and accessible legal justice? 


Frankly, enough is enough. 

Straight-forward. Accessible. Affordable.

Whether you need a second opinion for your current legal advice, need a simple question answering, or have no idea where to start with your current legal issue, we’re here to help. 

No extortionate legal fees. No fine print. What you see is what you get. And that is exactly how this industry should be. 

We’ve helped over 400,000 people assess their legal rights

We (two solicitors and an eCommerce expert) established Expert Answers in 2010. We recognised that for the majority of people and businesses, straightforward legal advice was simply unattainable. 

Millions of people in the UK fall between the cracks of the legal system because they can’t afford legal support and don’t qualify for free advice or legal aid or (in the majority of cases) Legal Aid is simply no longer available.

How the Expert Answers process works

1. Ask a legal question 

Tell us about your situation, concerns, and ask us for whatever advice you need. Anything from whether you have a case to the best processes to follow. 

2. Select your price from a sliding scale

Starting from just £40, pay what you can/wish to for your legal advice.

3. Get your answer from a solicitor 

Usually within 24 hours, (and often within minutes) one of our expert lawyers will provide you with information, guidance, and advice for your legal issue. 

4. Talk 1-2-1 online for more help

Should your lawyer need more information or you want more help, simply continue the conversation online and we’ll be here to support you.
