CompactLaw was formed in 1996 and was the first company in the UK to provide legal information and services via the Internet. CompactLaw is a privately run, profitable and self-funding company, we are not owned by any other organisation or law firm. But we have some great partners, in fact we have remained since 1996 the most widely distributed legal website in the UK.
In order to stay current with legal changes all of our legal team spend regular periods working in law firms or teaching law students or their fellow lawyers. We were also the first site to offer a comprehensive legal document service. No other organisation provides this level of service and all inclusive price. This comprehensive service means that our documents are still the most competitively priced available. This also means you can buy our products without the risk of hidden and expensive support costs. Not all legal documents are equal. All of our legal documents are drafted and updated by our own legal team, we do not buy in simple template agreements and resell them, we also do not sell shortened pre-printed documents.Our documents are well drafted and comprehensive. They are also drafted in plain english to make them easy to understand. Some of our best customers are law firms who buy our documents to use for their own clients. These customers from inside the profession can range in size from small high street firms to large commercial firms in the City of London. We always think it is a good sign when other legal professionals are happy to pay for our products.
