What our clients say

  • “Our small in-house legal team relies on Size Seven for overflow legal support, and they have exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Their work is consistently efficient, accurate and demonstrates a deep understanding of commercial realities. They seamlessly integrate with our team, providing practical solutions that save us time and effort. We couldn't recommend them more highly for reliable and pragmatic legal support.”

  • “A huge help in managing contracts and queries from our Sales team. They’ve provided sensible, commercial legal advice, invariably under tight timelines, and helped us to close deals! Also, having a talented, practical in-house lawyer to bounce things off has been invaluable to me as a sole counsel!”

  • “Finding the right legal support for a scaling business is challenging, but Size Seven is a great fit. Readily available to support, they understand our business, and offer expertise at a very competitive rate. It's refreshing to work with them.”

  • “A highly committed, flexible and intuitive lawyer, who goes above and beyond my needs. Super responsive, skilled and patient. Contracts were transformed.”

  • “Working directly with Sales and Partnerships teams to get deals done is hugely helpful. Incredibly responsive, pragmatic and effective. A valued member of our team."

  • Pragmatism at its finest. The way in which Size Seven have been able to plug in and get on with work without unnecessary fee discussions, scoping calls and context is refreshing. As a sole counsel, I really value not needing to closely manage external advice and budgets with them - always right on the money for what I need and the timeframes I need it in. Brilliant!
