LegalTech

shizl, an online LegalTech business aiming to empower SMEs to feel confident in legal contract creation, negotiation and execution, has launched in the UK.

shizl offers accessible, jargon free, cost effective legal guidance at whatever stage of the business life cycle, from startup to enterprise. 

The team behind shizl have over 60 years of legal practice experience and have created the technology after acknowledging the changing tide of the legal industry whilst understanding the business need for clear and transparent guidance. 

shizl’s online platform has been created to be accessible and straightforward to use, in an often convoluted sector that overwhelms business owners.

“The legal fundamentals of a business are often overlooked by business owners with the legal world often seeming overly complicated and prohibitively expensive, which if overlooked can cost a business hugely further down the line,” said CEO Mark Edgeworth.

“shizl will not suit every legal situation and will not replace a lawyer for specialist advice, but it aims to equip businesses with the essential documents needed to eliminate the initial need for a solicitor during contract creation and agreement, and minimise the need for a lawyer further down the line if support is needed.” 

Founders, investors and departmental leaders can find everything from agency contracts to referral agreements, NDAs and SaaS agreements on the platform.

It allows businesses or individuals to personalise, sign and save all documents through DocuSign on a monthly or annual subscription basis, ensuring the legal fundamentals of their business are in one place at all times.
