Like many good ideas, iLA started with frustration
We decided to do something about it
Before we launched iLA, we spent years working in property, finance, and law. And, no matter where we looked, we saw the same problem: people struggling to get timely, straightforward ILA.
Developers couldn’t get deals over the line because of delays. Brokers were stuck waiting on sluggish legal responses. And individuals were getting hit with unclear pricing and unnecessary hassle just to get a simple document signed.
We were told that’s just “how things are” in the legal world. But we weren’t having it. We believed there was a better way—one that put clients first, streamlined the process, and delivered what people actually need: fast, reliable ILA without the runaround.
Building a service that works for you
When we set out to create iLA, we weren’t interested in following the traditional playbook. We knew that to deliver something better, we had to rethink how ILA was done from the ground up.
That meant focusing exclusively on independent legal advice—no distractions, no side services, just getting this one thing right. We built systems that let clients book appointments quickly, even within hours. We scrapped the usual legal jargon and focused on clear communication. And we invested in tech that makes the entire process smooth, fully digital, and unique to your needs.
It wasn’t just about simplifying—I mean, who really enjoys chasing down lawyers and waiting days for a response? We also wanted to build a service that anticipated problems before they became delays, working closely with brokers, lenders, and solicitors to keep everything flowing smoothly.
Taking a risk and proving it works
Launching a business that focuses only on ILA was a bold move. People told us it wouldn’t work because, frankly, most lawyers don’t see the value in this kind of work. They told us that clients wouldn’t adapt to an online process, and that we were wasting our time trying to create a service that prioritised speed, convenience, and transparency.
But we knew there was a gap in the market, and we trusted our instincts.
We knew that clients were crying out for a solution that cut through the usual delays and confusion. And that’s exactly what we delivered.
Fast-forward a couple of years, and we’ve built a business that’s growing fast, helping clients across the UK get their ILA sorted quickly, efficiently, and without the usual hassle. The fact is, when you put clients first and create a service that actually works for them, you win.
Why we do what we do
It all comes down to one thing: making your life easier.
Getting ILA shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. We’re here to cut out the nonsense, speed things up, and make sure you get the advice you need without the stress.
We’re not interested in “how it’s always been done” if that way isn’t working. We’re about finding better ways, challenging the old models, and delivering legal services that actually fit your life, not the other way around.
What’s next ? ?
We’re not slowing down.
We’re always refining our process, building better partnerships, and looking for new ways to serve our clients even better. Our goal is simple: to be the go-to name for independent legal advice, because we do it better, faster, and with zero fuss.
If you’re tired of the usual delays, hidden fees, and endless calls to firms that don’t prioritise you, we’re here to help. Let’s change how independent legal advice is done—for good.
