Who We Are

After many years as a solicitor in various large solicitors’ practices, Barkley Legal was started by Anne Phillips to give businesses the affordable legal services they deserve. Too many businesses either avoid the issue of legal documents they need or go towards the internet. You can fix your car with instructions off the internet. It might work it might not. The results could be dangerous. So it is with legal documents.

Why take that risk? Do things properly with confidence.

We are happy to have a free initial chat to discuss your situation and how we could help your business.

  I used Anne to help me with a commercial contract and I found her to be easy to communicate with, fast at responding and also realistically priced for a small business.  I have already recommended her services to others (I found her as she was recommended to me) and I plan on using her for different legal services going forward.

  I dealt with Anne Phillips, after being recommended to her by a friend. She dealt with our business matter in a very professional way and responded quickly to anything that was required. A very pragmatic and thorough person to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her in the future and would use her again for any legal work either in a business or private capacity. Thank you Anne

  Anne has truly put my mind at ease by ensuring that I now have all the current essential legal documents required by law in place. Her tremendous care, patience, and expertise in legal matters are evident. For instance, I had no idea that small business owners now needed a separate website policy from a privacy policy, which she expertly crafted for me. Additionally, I used her freelance contract review service, and I am now much happier with my contract. It is now perfectly tailored to reflect my business and the services I offer, without any complicated legal jargon, making it easily understandable for all parties involved.
Previously, the exorbitant high fees charged by law firms deterred me from obtaining the necessary legal documents written professionally. However, Barkley Legal offers exceptional value for money across all its services. I highly recommend Anne at Barkley Legal. Her truly professional service will elevate your business’s professionalism in the eyes of your clients by ensuring that you fulfil all your legal obligations and set clear expectations from the outset.
Thank you, Anne.

  I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Anne

One of Anne's standout qualities is her ability to bridge the gap between the legal jargon and everyday language. She ensures that her clients are not overwhelmed by legal terminology but are instead empowered with knowledge in a clear and accessible manner. Her commitment to making the law understandable to her clients is a testament to her dedication and empathy.

Furthermore, Anne's Terms and Conditions (Ts & Cs) are skilfully composed in a straightforward and user-friendly manner, making them engaging and comprehensible to your clients, encouraging them to read and understand the content.

  I have worked with Anne for over three years now and she has helped me tremendously. Trying to navigate the legalities of business on your own is a mine field and Anne has taken that worry away from me.
She has always been open to talking through what I need and making sure that my legal documentation is appropriate. Anne explains things clearly and checks in at every stage of her work with me.
I have no hesitation in recommending her services. Thank you Anne.
