A law firm without timesheets.
We built Ares Legal because clients deserved better than the hourly model. It turns out lawyers do too. No timesheets, no billable-hours targets and no recording your day in six-minute units. Just interesting commercial work for growing businesses, done properly, with your name on the relationship.
Why work with us? A different kind of law firm
- No timesheets. We charge fixed fees and subscriptions, so nobody is measured on hours recorded. You are measured on whether the client got a clear answer and came back.
- Your own clients. You will know the businesses you work for, speak to them directly and keep the relationship. Nothing gets handed up the chain, and you are not working on someone else’s matter without ever meeting them.
- Real variety. Commercial contracts, corporate, data protection, employment, intellectual property and technology, for clients ranging from businesses in their first year to household names.
- Time to do it properly. Fixed fees mean the pressure is to be efficient rather than to stretch a file. When the work is finished, it is finished.
A firm still being built. We are small and growing, which means your view on how things should work actually lands rather than disappearing into a committee.
The kind of people who thrive at Ares Legal
People who are more interested in clients than in clocks. Lawyers who give an answer rather than a menu of options, who write like humans, and who find business genuinely interesting. People who want a client to call early about the small thing, because that is the sign the relationship is working.
