CEO, ELE — legal sector copywriting
“At ELE - as copywriters working with the legal sector - we're pretty picky about our written content.”
“At ELE - as copywriters working with the legal sector - we're pretty picky about our written content. For some years we'd been embarrassed by our Ts and Cs but struggled to find a lawyer that could understand the need for them to combine our tone of voice with the legal necessities. Ian was a breath of fresh air... and as a result we've recommended him to several other agencies. Not only is he refreshingly plain speaking, he has a rare and natural understanding of the creative process. We've been so happy with our terms of business we've now moved on to redoing our employment contracts and subcontractor agreements. If you get the chance to work with Ian and New I urge you to grab it with both hands!”

Managing Director, UKBPO Ltd (BusinessSupport.io)

“Ian Greig's legal agreement, tailored to my case, was instrumental in getting my workshop signed off and paid for extra-quick – with ZERO pushback on my terms. And this, after the client had warned me that their legal department usually takes weeks to go over everything. Plus, they're in a completely different country, which I thought may cause friction. Not so, thanks to Ian!
It feels wonderful to know that I'm covered by the terms, and that Ian has considered everything both the other party and I need to be protected and work in harmony. Cherry on the cake: such a thorough agreement will make you look super professional and will gain you extra respect from the client.
Ian was also always extremely helpful and ready to answer all of my (many) questions.
Best investment this year – and one that I will use many times over. Highly recommended. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that you shouldn't enter a contractual obligation without Ian making sure that your terms of agreement will provide the cover you need.”

Ian was able to take a look at our set up and advise us the best way possible to make sure we were covered
he took the time to learn about our event and provide us with the correct protection incase of any future incidents
Ian is not only great at what he does hes a pretty good guy too

“Wow! What can I say? As the Founder of Lancashire Careers Company, I wanted to ensure that we were legally compliant every step of the way - but whom to trust? We had liked and shared a couple of posts and I felt that there was a synergy between Ian and me. Ian offered me a 30 min free consultation from which I gleaned loads of really positive advice and business support. When it came to requiring T&Cs and contracting forms, Ian was my immediate go-to expert! I hold my hands up to being demanding on turnaround time yet Ian came in with the goods as requested. More recently, he has advised me on the legal aspects of my privacy and cookies for my website to keep me super-tight and fully ICO compliant. He has worked well with my web development team and for the first time I felt that I could step back and leave them all to get on with it and deliver.”

“I go to Ian with anything legal. He's help me create the prefect agreements, contracts and data-related stuff, to cover clients all over the world. He's got an amazingly flexible approach to both his time and payment terms, and I HIGHLY recommend.”
Sarah Jones

“I had a situation with a provider of group/community marketing programmes & marketing support.”
“I had a situation with a provider of group/community marketing programmes & marketing support. The programme was terrible, fell well below standards, and I felt I had a case relating to mis-selling, data privacy, and non-delivery of service. The provider was very threatening but I wanted to not waste my precious time further. I was sure I had a case but I needed legal support behind me. Ian was great - very balanced in his review and possible responses, he reviewed the contract and documentation, and indicated the issues at play. I liked the responsive, supportive but very clear, and swift support, as it was a nerve-wracking time for me. The correspondence I received from Ian and the team went way beyond my expectations in terms of stating my case, the threats stopped, and I've not heard from them again. Thanks Ian.”
Sunil Duggal

“I just wanted to say a big thanks to Ian and the team for making the revision of our terms of business easy and straightforward.”

“One session with Ian and I can't even express the value I received.”
“One session with Ian and I can't even express the value I received.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and he speaks the HUMAN language. Meaning that even someone like me who has no knowledge of the legal world could understand everything he explained.
His support was invaluable and I already know that I'll be working with him again very very soon 🔥
If you're thinking about working with someone who can offer you legal support - I can't recommend anyone better than him.”
James Meads

“It's a pleasure to recommend Ian and his company's services for help with contracts and T&Cs.”
“It's a pleasure to recommend Ian and his company's services for help with contracts and T&Cs. Ian worked on putting together an affiliate agreement for me, as part of setting up an a program to onboard affiliates to help sell our subscription products. Communication was fast, he understood very well the angle I was coming from, and took time to understand the product and service I'm selling. All in all, very professional.”

“Ian was recommended to me through a mutual connection within the freelancing sector after a project I was working on was unfairly…”
“Ian was recommended to me through a mutual connection within the freelancing sector after a project I was working on was unfairly terminated.
From our first conversation Ian was supportive and took the time to fully understand the situation and explain my rights and the likely scenarios that I may be faced with if I decided to push back on the decision made by my client. With his legal knowledge, Ian created a legal letter on my behalf and guided me through the process. The breach of contract was settled out of court with my client paying what I was owed as per the contract.
I can't recommend Ian highly enough! I don't think I would have achieved the results I had hoped for if it wasn't for Ian's help and guidance during such a stressful and unpleasant experience.”

“Ian supported me with getting a B2B contract in place with a client overseas. I hadn't fully appreciated the complexities of what I needed but he went through it all with me which was amazing. I was able to send the contract over to the client pretty quickly and get it signed.
Thank you Ian for your support and for being patient and explaining it all to me!
I will be recommending Ian to my clients and others in need of his services.”

“As an early stage startup I needed terms of business and advice at an affordable rate.”
“As an early stage startup I needed terms of business and advice at an affordable rate. Ian provided this and allowed me to pay in two installments to ease the tension.
Ian is exceptionally articulate, friendly, and understanding. He takes on board any suggestions and really looks to understand the startup so he can provide the best service possible.
I have no doubts that I will continue to work with Ian in the future as my startup grows and will continue to recommend him to anyone seeking legal and business advice.”
Graham Bucknell

“I came to Ian with a supplier dispute that was going nowhere.”
“I came to Ian with a supplier dispute that was going nowhere. I'd paid upfront for a computer on a three-week timeline, and months later I was getting deflection instead of delivery.
Ian took the time to go through the documentation with me properly, asked the questions I hadn't thought to ask, and laid out exactly what the small claims route would look like — including the specific wording to use in writing. That last part mattered. Once I put the right language in front of the supplier, the tone changed overnight. He realised I understood my position and was prepared to act on it.
The machine turned up shortly after. Left to run its course, I'm confident it would have dragged on for another six months.
Ian is calm, precise, and gives you the practical steps rather than just the theory. If you're stuck with someone who's counting on you not knowing your rights, he's the person to call.”

“Ian was a pleasure to work with on our legal contracts for Logical BI.”
“Ian was a pleasure to work with on our legal contracts for Logical BI. The entire process was seamless, he listened, adjusted as needed, and kept everything on schedule. I chose Ian for his expertise, transparent pricing, and because he’s just Ian - a great guy!
He took the time to understand my business needs and delivered documents that were detailed yet straightforward and adaptable for our unique client contracts. If you're after simplicity without compromise, exceptional service without the jargon, and expertise at a fair fee, Ian’s your man. I wouldn't hesitate to return to him for future needs or to recommend him to others.”

“As the Founder of a start-up, I know I need to be protected but I can't afford, nor do I have time to engage, the classic legal firms.”
“As the Founder of a start-up, I know I need to be protected but I can't afford, nor do I have time to engage, the classic legal firms. I wanted a straightforward approach, tailored to my business, easy to implement. Ian delivered on every aspect. We had an initial discovery call so he could find out about my business, then went away and made sure I was covered with every bit of paperwork needed. The real value add came when he coached me on various aspects of operationalising the paperwork, things I'd not even considered. Ian's a great guy, highly recommend his services.”

“Upon starting my business I knew that I needed help when it came to the legal side - I was referred to Ian as someone who could help me ensure I was legally compliant. Ian has not only ensured my business is running to the correct standards, he has been a great sounding board to run ideas off. It's fantastic knowing I have someone I can completely trust at this early stage of being a founder.”

“Ian has been fabulous to work with. From our first call all the way through to after care, he’s been clear with communication, friendly and helpful.
The contracts he has done for me are perfect. They look much more professional than the previous ones, they’re also concise and easy for me, my associates and my clients to understand.
Ian took the time to fully understand what I needed to cover and has gone on to make amendments as necessary. He’s also been on hand to answer my questions along the way.”

“As someone who markets for the legal industry and has an extensive network of lawyer connections, when it came to the task of having a new set of legals done, I thought I would be daring and go to someone who I did NOT know to test the market. Ian came to mind as I knew his focus was on clients exactly like me, and he had a neat little package to cover everything from terms of business to website terms to privacy policy and outsourcing agreements. I am so pleased I did this. Ian was exceptionally user friendly, easy to communicate with and super collaborative. For instance, when I said as someone who works with a lot of legal design clients and develops comms strategies that plain language was important to me, he redrafted my terms to reflect this. I am now speaking with him about further legals for a new collab. It is good to know I have "my lawyer" to go to as my business scales and this makes me feel very grown up 😂. Thanks Ian!”

“Navigating IP and trademark law is not for the faint-hearted (nor AI!), so it requires a specialist who's been there and done it and has experience under their belt.
To be able to spend time with Ian and not just navigate my problem but to also understand other blind spots that might be in play as well as be assigned some really valuable actions was fantastic.
This guy cemented himself as my go-to for assistance with IP/trademark law rather rapidly and I feel the wonderful combination of experience, genuine keenness to help, and just being a good guy too is rare and precious.
Thanks Ian, you are appreciated for the time you gave me.”

“Ian has been an absolute lifesaver for me.
Throughout a particularly challenging client situation, Ian was there on speed dial, always ready to provide advice and reassurance.
His support, and guidance made me feel safe and confident, knowing I had someone who truly had my back.
What really set Ian apart in this particular situation was how he helped me approach it from a business perspective, not just a legal one.
His support goes far deeper than simply helping me with legal documents like privacy policies, terms and conditions, and contracts.
Having Ian by my side gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to navigate the situation with professionalism and ease.
If you're looking for more than just legal assistance – someone who genuinely cares about your business and its success - and YOU – Ian and his team are the kind of people you want on your team.”

“I know close to nothing when it comes to the legal stuff needed to properly launch a business, capture user data and have a website that is compliant with local and international laws.
Having Ian guide me through it was a game-changer because he not only told me what I needed, he also took the time to explain each document and how it should be used. He patiently answered all my questions and gave me additional recommendations on things I hadn't considered.
He has also been a great mentor to me and he's someone who will always have something valuable to bring to the conversation.”

He was so straightforward and easy to deal with and is now my go-to person for any contract that I need. Up until now in my business I've always used templated contracts which never really felt very safe and it is a great feeling to know I am now covered if anything ever goes wrong! All quick, painless and Ian is a lovely guy to boot, so would highly recommend!”

Lots, actually.
Ian is an outstanding guy, first and foremost. He's always happy to chat and offer support and he's been influential in my legal journey on LinkedIn.
He's my go-to guy for contracts (which makes me feel quite badass) and he turns them around in a flash. Super professional, super great - if you need watertight contracts to ensure you don't get in a pickle - Ian's your guy.”

“Listen, when it comes to protecting your business you want to know that a) your legal wingman understands you and your business b) he actually knows his legal sh*t and c) he won't judge you when you ask him to explain some legal stuff AGAIN PLEASE. This is Ian. He provided ironclad legal docs to protect my new business and I sleep better at night knowing it's sorted. The process was so easy and efficient, Ian made sure I felt completely safe and comfortable with what he had provided. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.”
