Why Clause

We swapped the wood panelling for plain English.

Traditional firms bill you by the six-minute unit, hide behind Latin and disappear for weeks. We do the opposite — clear scope, clear price, fast answers, and documents you can actually read.

  • Fixed prices, zero surprises

    Every job is quoted upfront as a flat fee. No timesheets, no "we'll see how it goes" — ever.

  • Real humans, real fast

    Slack us, WhatsApp us, call us. Most questions answered same-day by a named lawyer — not a portal.

  • Plain-English everything

    We annotate the tricky bits, flag the gotchas and tell you what actually matters. Law, decoded.

Meet your lawyer

"You shouldn't need a law degree to read your own contract."

Priya spent eight years at a Magic Circle firm before getting fed up watching founders drown in billable hours. She started Clause to give startups the same calibre of advice — minus the gatekeeping, the jargon and the eye-watering bills.

Today she leads a tight team of startup-native lawyers who've sat on both sides of the table: in-house at scale-ups and across the VC desk. They get the pace, the pressure and the cap table.
