Keeping Independent legal advice within reach

The UK legal system is extremely unequal, unbalanced, and unfair. We’re here to change that by offering affordable independent legal advice.

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? 


1 in 3 SMEs have no affordable recourse to legal advice. Expert Answers aims to change that by providing affordable independent legal advice.

legal support and legal advice

Straightforward. 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 with independent legal advice

We established Expert Answers in 2010. We recognised that for the majority of people and businesses, straightforward independent legal advice was simply unattainable. 

Millions (1 in 2, source the Justice Gap) 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 legal advice or legal aid or (in the majority of cases) Legal Aid is simply no longer available.
