Clarence Exchange

Brief a lawyer through Clarence.

Tell Clarence what you need in your own words. It shapes your need into a work request a lawyer can price and act on — in their name, for one clear price, paid to them.

One price. Paid to your lawyer. Clarence never touches the money on a matter.

The Exchange is currently open to Clarence subscribers working with a lawyer whose firm is listed on the Exchange.

Legal help, without the guesswork.

You know what you need done. What you don't know is what it will cost, how long it will take, or what happens after you send the email. The Exchange answers all three before you commit to anything.

How it works

1
Say what you need.
In plain words. Clarence asks only what it can't already answer — a handful of questions, each with its reason.
2
See exactly what's sent.
Clarence shapes your need into a structured work request. You review the whole package — summary, documents, your answers — and approve it before it leaves.
3
Your lawyer prices it.
A set price for standard work, shown before you submit. For scoped work, an honest range now and your lawyer's final quote to follow.
4
Accept, pay your lawyer, follow the work.
One price, one payment, straight into their firm's own account. Then track the matter's progress on the same page — nothing to chase, nothing to email.

Priced work from £495. On scoped work, quotes typically back within 2 working days. Turnaround promises are your lawyer's, published up front.

There's an Ask a lawyer button in the header of Clarence Business and Clarence Contracts. Click it while you're working and your context comes with you — most of the questions are already answered.

One price. Paid to your lawyer.

Clarence is the venue, not a party to your matter. It is not a law firm, and it is not a middleman taking a cut. The price you see is your lawyer's price, you pay them directly into their firm's own account, and the engagement is with their firm, never with Clarence — their engagement letter, their liability, their regulator.

Clarence never touches the money on a matter. No referral fee, no take-rate, no second invoice. That isn't a policy we could change next quarter; it's the reason a client, a firm and a regulator can all use the same venue.

Not a directory to search, and not a marketplace to browse. You brief the lawyer you already work with, and Clarence does the packaging in between.

Your listing, on your terms.

You publish the work you do, the way you do it. Clients arrive as structured matter packages — not cold emails — that you can price and return in one click.

Your work types, your prices, your turnaround promises. Every figure on your listing is yours. Clarence sets none of them and never quotes on your behalf.
Work arrives ready to act on. A structured matter package: the client's objective, their documents, their answers, and Clarence's note on where the request came from and what it's actually asking.
One queue, ordered by what needs you next — with the clock running on every quote you owe.
Quote in one click. Set your fee against the package and send it, in your firm's name.
Clients pay you directly. Settled straight into your own account. Clarence takes nothing from the matter.

Start with what you need.
