Your legal counsel. Embedded in your business.
Growing companies need more than occasional legal advice. They need a senior commercial lawyer who already understands their business, spots issues early, and moves at their pace.

What we do
The legal work that matters most as a business grows — and the work that is most costly to get wrong.
Most companies need experienced legal input long before a full-time hire makes sense. Traditional firms are excellent for specialist advice and disputes. Day to day, you need someone who understands the commercial reality of running the business. That is where i3legal sits.
This is a working legal relationship — senior counsel embedded in your business, focused on the decisions that matter.
We work across sectors — software, engineering, energy, professional services, family-owned companies. One consistent lawyer who knows your business and stays with it.
Practice areas
The commercial legal work companies actually need — day to day, and at key moments of change.
Contracts & commercial
Corporate & deals
We handle the contracts, negotiations and commercial advice so you can stay focused on running and growing the business.
Every engagement is led by senior counsel
Our lawyers bring more than twenty years’ commercial experience — gained in private practice and in-house, including running legal functions across multiple jurisdictions.
You work directly with experienced commercial lawyers throughout, supported by specialist capability when a matter calls for it.

Practical and proactive
Advice grounded in commercial reality, with risks spotted early. In the room when decisions are made — not just reviewing the paperwork afterwards.
