01What is Lawport UK?
Lawport UK is a commercial legal consultancy for growing businesses. We help with day-to-day legal and commercial issues such as contracts, invoices, suppliers, client disputes, website terms, business documents, data protection basics and practical risk decisions. Lawport UK is not an SRA-regulated law firm or a solicitors practice.
02Why are you not an SRA-regulated law firm?
This is a conscious decision. We focus on practical business support and non-reserved legal services for small and growing businesses.
Many everyday business issues such as contract checks, payment terms, supplier problems, website documents and invoice disputes do not require a traditional law firm structure. Where regulated support is needed, we will say so and help you identify the right next step.
The difference is the structure, not the standard.
03What can you help with?
We help businesses with unpaid invoices, client and supplier disputes, contract reviews, difficult emails and written responses, payment terms, refund and cancellation issues, NDAs, website terms, privacy documents, contractor and staff documents, shareholder and founder arrangements, and early dispute support before formal proceedings. We also offer practical Business Support - including one-off Business Health Checks and ongoing weekly Cashflow & Business Checks - for owners who want clarity on their numbers, not just their contracts. Our focus is practical business support, not legal complexity for its own sake.
04Are your advisors qualified?
Lawport UK works with experienced legal and commercial advisors, including qualified lawyers with commercial law experience. The right advisor depends on the issue. Straightforward business matters may need practical commercial legal support. More complex matters may be handled or reviewed by a suitably experienced lawyer or specialist advisor.
05Where do you operate?
Lawport UK supports businesses across England and Wales, with particular focus on London, the Thames Valley, the Home Counties, Cambridge, Kent, Essex, Birmingham and Manchester. We operate on a remote-first model, which helps reduce traditional office costs and keeps pricing more accessible. Most matters are handled by secure online form, email, video call or phone. Where a physical meeting is genuinely needed, we can come to you by arrangement.
06What happens after I request a service?
Once you submit your matter, we confirm receipt and get to work straight away. As part of our standard process, we run AML, KYC and conflict checks in the background - these happen in parallel with our initial review of your matter and are typically completed within one business day. You will not need to do anything extra. Once confirmed, we will set out your scope, price and delivery timeline before work begins.

08Can you help with disputes?
Yes. Lawport UK helps with early-stage commercial disputes before they become formal litigation. This can include unpaid invoices, client complaints, supplier problems, refund disputes, contract disagreements, scope creep and difficult email exchanges.
For one-off support, our Early Dispute Review is available for £215 + VAT. We review the key background and give you a clear risk summary, practical options and recommended next steps.
If the matter needs a formal written response, negotiation support or deeper review, we will scope that separately and agree a fixed price before work begins.
If the matter needs court action, tribunal work or another reserved legal activity, we will explain this clearly. Where appropriate, we can help you instruct and coordinate with SRA-regulated solicitors, specialist law firms, barristers or other authorised legal providers.
Lawport UK does not conduct litigation or reserved legal activities unless separately arranged through an appropriately authorised professional.
09Can you handle cross-border contracts?
Lawport UK focuses on English and Welsh law. We can support cross-border commercial contracts governed by English law. If your matter requires foreign law advice, overseas filings or local enforceability advice, we will explain this and use our network for suitable local support where needed.
10What if I need an SRA-regulated law firm?
Some legal work must be carried out by authorised providers. This includes conducting litigation, representing you in court or before a tribunal, reserved instrument activities (such as property conveyancing), probate activities, notarial acts, and administering oaths. If your matter needs regulated support, we will tell you clearly and help you identify the right next step. Where useful, we can help prepare your documents, summarise the issue and coordinate the handover to an SRA-regulated firm, barrister or specialist advisor.
