The Powered by Legal Studio logo is there to show that your lawyer is part of a fully regulated law firm.

The brand you’re working with is an independent business, but they are operating as part of the Legal Studio platform. That means they run their own brand but do so under our regulatory and compliance structure.

In plain English: you’re working directly with your chosen consultant. That consultant is fully authorised and regulated through Legal Studio Solicitors. We provide the regulatory framework, compliance systems and professional backing that make their independent practice possible.

You still get a direct relationship with your lawyer, no junior staff, no passing around, but with the added reassurance that they’re part of something properly structured and properly regulated.

Who’s Who

Your consultant handles your matter directly, sets their own pricing and manages your file. They are responsible for the advice you receive and your ongoing communication.

Legal Studio Solicitors is the regulated law firm that sits behind the scenes. We take care of the professional framework including insurance, compliance, file audits and regulatory oversight. Your consultant is a Legal Consultant of Legal Studio Solicitors.

MDLS Solicitors Limited is the company that owns and runs the Legal Studio platform. It’s a Limited Company registered in England and Wales and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Legal Studio Solicitors is a Trading Name of MDLS Solicitors Limited.
