Why We Exist
By Lawyers exists as an online global legal publisher because of our desire to make the practice of law safer, more profitable and without anxiety.
We exist to help law firms work smarter and enjoy practice more.
What We Do
We deliver information and guidance enabling legal practitioners to conduct legal matters in a logical, efficient, and cost effective way.
Practical and up-to-date legal publications
Our Practical up to date publications are made up of commentaries, matter plans and precedents in all the common areas of law. They are available in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
Automated legal precedents and forms
We focus on solving the problems of law firms with a vast library of precedents and forms, used by over 30,000 users every day.
We empower your law firm
We introduce a best practice solution into your firm that ensures a commitment to plain language communications with your clients, and logical, well thought out processes that ensure every member of the team can see what work is required, and ensure every step is completed through to providing the invoice on completion and closing the file.
Lawyers, paralegals, and admin staff love what we do!
Written by legal professionals engaged in practice
Our content reflects the experience of multiple legal practitioners, rather than one person’s take on the subject. Our authors are not academics. They are knowledgeable lawyers engaged in daily legal practice and are best suited to ensure that content is practical and useful in the everyday practice of law.
