Hello, we’re Tend Legal

Welcome. Thanks for stopping by. How are you finding the site?

We’re beyond excited to be going live with our new business and our new website; it’s something we’ve been working towards for months.

We had the idea back in the first lockdown of 2020. We had a vision of a law firm that works remotely by design, that offers outstanding legal services efficiently and communicates in a more human way. We wanted to find a way of delivering services that works for our clients, our family and (when we have one) our team. The more we thought about it, the more sense it made, so (after a lot of soul-searching, late-night discussions and even bit of prayer), we went for it. It’s been an intense few months, but we are now officially a firm of solicitors authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and ready for action.

It may seem like a risky time to give up a secure job and plunge into something new. The thought has crossed my mind more than once. But on the other hand, it might just be the perfect time – the world has changed, and with it the way we work and collaborate with each other. Every business is having to work out how it can adapt to the new normal, and innovation is far easier for a small new business than for an established one.

We don’t claim to have all the answers; this is very much the beginning of our journey, not the end. As we go along, we’ll continue to explore new and better ways of doing everything. We’ll let you know how we’re getting on on this blog, along with news of things we’re working on and legal updates we think you might need to know about.

The uber-talented Rich Wells (yes, he’s a cousin) was responsible for our branding and web design. We gave him a brief of creating an identity for a law firm that doesn’t look too much like a law firm. We think he’s nailed it and we’ve wasted much time gazing into the hypnotic animations he created.

The photos are by the wonderful Charlotte Webb. She took the time to really understand what we wanted and work with us to achieve that and was a pleasure to work with. She certainly succeeded in making us look better than in real life!
