Why start here?
A legal problem rarely arrives neatly organised. Important facts may be spread across emails, letters, contracts, messages and months—or even years—of events.
The Legal Desk brings that information together. We identify what appears to matter, explain the potentially relevant law in plain English and show you the evidence gaps, strengths, risks and realistic options.
01
Understand the apparent legal issues, the information still required and the decisions that may need to be made.
02
Turn scattered documents and events into an organised chronology, evidence record and structured written assessment.
03
You may be able to take a focused next step yourself. Where a solicitor or authorised barrister is needed, you can approach them with clearer instructions, organised papers and more focused questions.
This may reduce duplicated preparation and help you use later professional time more efficiently. Any professional subsequently instructed will remain responsible for making their own assessment.
A defined first step—not an open-ended bill.
Start with a £69 Legal Desk Check or choose a £299 Written Legal Assessment.
The Written Legal Assessment provides a fuller assessment of the facts, law, evidence, risks and available options. The exact scope, fixed fee, delivery time and service status are shown before you pay.
Suitable non-urgent matters are assessed before acceptance. Where urgent or authorised legal help is required, we will identify the appropriate route rather than offer the wrong service.
Where we add value
Early-stage support for individuals, founders and small businesses across England and Wales.
Agreements, unpaid invoices, faulty goods or services, refunds, supplier issues and commercial disputes.
Landlord, tenant, lease and property-document issues at an early stage.
Chronologies, correspondence and preparation before ACAS or specialist advice.
Early case assessment, evidence and chronology organisation, police complaints and preparation for referral to an authorised criminal solicitor.
Early issue-mapping, evidence organisation and specialist handover.
Letters, evidence, strengths, risks and proportionate next steps.
How it works
Every matter begins with suitability. You know the scope, status, fee and limitations before deciding whether to proceed.
Choose the area of law and tell us about any deadline. A deadline within seven days is routed to urgent authorised help.
Describe what happened, the outcome you want and the important dates, then identify the correspondence and documents.
Accept the client documents electronically. The matter, uploads and fixed-price order are stored together before Stripe Checkout opens.
Track payment and progress, add documents and download the final Legal Desk Report through a personal passwordless link.
The Legal Desk Report
The report shows what appears to matter, what is missing and where the realistic choices lie. It is written to be useful to you and to any regulated professional you later instruct.

Ask about this serviceCourt and hearing support
Court work is assessed case by case. No fee or attendance is agreed until the hearing, track, client attendance, permitted role and any need for a regulated provider have been checked.
Paid preparation and quiet in-court assistance may be available. You remain a litigant in person; this does not include an automatic right to address the court or conduct litigation.
A fixed fee may be quoted for an eligible small-claims hearing where the client attends. It does not extend to an appeal, a stage after judgment or another track.
Reserved work is offered only through an authorised firm that accepts and controls the client retainer. A cooperation arrangement alone is not enough.
Fast, intermediate and multi-track cases, appeals, criminal matters and other reserved advocacy are directed to a practising solicitor or an appropriately authorised barrister.
Courtroom assistance and lay representation do not carry the protections of a regulated law firm. The Legal Desk is currently uninsured. Court-support fees are normally not recoverable from the other party. Read the full Court Support page before enquiring.
Clear boundaries
The Legal Desk is deliberately positioned before, beside or between formal legal instruction. It does not blur the line between unregulated support and reserved legal work.
Within scope
Not provided
Clear online checkout
Standard fixed-fee services are paid online in advance. The required information and confirmations are built into checkout, so there is no need for a separately prepared engagement letter or handwritten signature for every routine order.
Order summary
The selected service, documents included, fixed price, five-business-day standard delivery and exclusions are shown clearly before payment.
Electronic acceptance
Separate unticked confirmations cover the Service Terms, Client Status Statement and Privacy Notice. They must be completed before payment.
Upfront payment
The server—not the browser—sets the fixed fee. Stripe receives the case and order references and confirms payment back to the matching record.
Policies
Source documents are normally deleted after 90 days; the essential contract and service record is kept for six years. The complaints route and limits of external redress are explained below.

Your first decision should be an informed one
Independent and unregulated. The Legal Desk is not a firm of solicitors or chambers and is not authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or Bar Standards Board. Work is confined to unreserved services and narrowly defined court-support roles that are lawfully available in the individual case.
Different protections apply. The services are not currently covered by professional indemnity insurance. You have no right to complain to the Legal Ombudsman, and there is a substantial risk that legal advice privilege will not apply. The Client Status Statement is confirmed electronically before work.
Reserved and regulated work is screened. There is no general right to conduct litigation or appear as an advocate. Any small-claims lay representation depends on the 1999 Order and the client attending; solicitor-supervised work is provided only within an authorised firm’s accepted retainer. Read the Court Support page, Legal Services Act 2007 and BSB guidance.
The suitability checker gives general routing information only. It cannot assess limitation, merits or procedure and is not a substitute for advice on an urgent matter. The Legal Desk is a trading name of Ezrick Evon Saunders, sole trader, Office 1, 14-16 Swan Street, Manchester, M4 5JN.
