Today marks the launch of shizl, a new online legal technology company in the UK, aiming to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in managing legal contracts. With an emphasis on making the legal process less daunting, shizl provides straightforward and cost-effective guidance to businesses, ensuring they feel confident during contract creation, negotiation, and execution.
The platform is the brainchild of a team with over 60 years of combined legal practice experience. Acknowledging the evolving landscape of the legal industry, these professionals have developed shizl to meet the demand for clear, transparent legal guidance that is often requested by businesses at various stages of their growth.
shizl is designed to be user-friendly, providing easy access to legal document creation, guidance, and storage solutions. It caters to businesses whether they are at the startup phase, hiring new employees, seeking investment, or aiming for expansion. This accessibility helps companies maintain compliance and handle legal matters efficiently without being overwhelmed by complexity or costs.
CEO Mark Edgeworth points out that business owners frequently overlook legal fundamentals due to the intricacy and perceived expense of the legal system. Edgeworth explains, “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.” He adds that while shizl is not a substitute for specialised legal advice, it equips businesses with essential tools to avoid initial solicitor fees during contract creation and reduce future legal costs.
The platform offers users a convenient, cost-effective solution to managing legal documents. It includes features like personalisation, digital signing, and document storage through DocuSign, all integral to maintaining a business’s legal framework. Users can access these facilities either on a monthly or annual subscription basis, making it a flexible option for SMEs.
shizl presents a forward-thinking approach to demystifying legal processes, offering SMEs an essential tool in their business operations.
