Core protection

Protection, proposals and backup — with optional add-ons as you scale.

Core protection covers the legal issues modern businesses face most often. Every subscription also includes Dispute Mitigation, so you have us around when something goes wrong, and the proposals, frameworks and case studies used to win real work. Corporate + Equity sits outside the core subscription as a premium add-on you can bring in as the business grows.

Since 2022 — New Intelligence

Learned from hundreds of real engagements.

The value of New Legal isn't that we've written hundreds of contracts. It's that our team of lawyers and dealmakers has advised on hundreds of commercial engagements over many years — and the subscription compounds: almost every improvement, document and diagnostic we add makes the intelligence you get better.

See how leaders operate

Subscribers get to see how the businesses ahead of them structure their agreements, pricing and protections — and use the same shapes.

Our clients include tech businesses, consultants, marketers, speakers, influencers, SMEs, consultancies and professionals — many award-winning. They have worked inside — or now deliver into — organisations such as Amazon, Gartner, Revolut, EY, Meta, the NHS, BCG, Red Bull, OpenAI and PwC. To be clear: those organisations are not our clients and we make no claim to have worked for them. Delivered through our consultancy arm, New Intelligence.

The core idea

Most growing businesses don't need a lawyer in every routine decision — but they do need reliable legal infrastructure.

Currently in beta

From opportunity to the right legal solution.

In beta, Venture Shield combines AI with New Legal oversight to help identify what you need, match the closest solution and get you moving quickly.

One human sense-check before it reaches you
05Higher-risk route

If the matter is higher-risk, unusual or needs tailoring, we identify that early and flag that human input is required.

Tailored legal support sits outside the subscription and is priced separately.

Beta means a smarter blend of AI and human judgement — with the right level of support for the situation. See what's included

Priced as All Three Core Areas + Corporate + Equity add-on

Dispute Mitigation is included in every Venture Shield subscription.

Peace of mind that we're around: mini-diagnostics so you know where you stand immediately, the ability to copy us in when you have a problem with someone, and the option to instruct New Legal if you need legal support. Corporate + Equity is a separate premium add-on. Instructed legal support and formal dispute handling are separately priced.
