Open Legal reviews contracts for me prior to my company signing. They have assisted in review, wording and interpretation. David W who seems to be assigned to my company (which is great for me to get in touch with easily) has been attentive and responsive with emails and turnaround times in reasonable timeframes. All positive feedback from me and my team for Open Legal.

David and his team are excellent lawyers and communicators helping small businesses like ours alleviate the burden of legal overhead. We’ve engaged OpenLegal for trademark applications as well as contractual tasks and they never cease to impress with their timeliness and quality of delivery. Thanks guys!

Five stars and five more for the Open Legal team. I found them on Google and reached out based solely on their reviews.
From my very first conversation with Ben, I knew I was in the right hands. Jennifer represented us on not one but two commercial leases. Two because the first one was a dud, like we were about to be royally rogered and had we entered into that agreement - I would definitely be one sad individual right now.
Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable, engaging but also super honest - she knows her stuff. To say "no stone was left unturned" would be an understatement, I mean, who wants

I've known and worked with Phil for over 6 years and he is an outstanding lawyer with a friendly and down-to-earth approach to life and his business. Phil genuinely cares about his clients and will do anything to help improve their circumstances. I would recommend Phil to anyone who wants advice on commercial law issues.

I am beyond impressed with Philip. I was in an extremely stressful situation and when I first spoke to David over the phone, he immediately advised me on all the aspects OpenLegal can help me with. Before OpenLegal I had lost all hope. I was extremely stressed. David gave me hope. Then I had Philip look after my case and he has gone above and beyond all my expectations. Not only do they care about your business, but they go beyond just looking after your assets. I highly recommend their services. If you want a lawyer that cares about you and your business, OpenLegal is for you. I only dealt with

Recently engaged OpenLegal to help us register some trademarks. The team were extremely friendly and energetic, took the time to understand my business, were responsive, and overall it was a very smooth speedy process. Plus, no hidden fees like most lawyers I have dealt with in the past! Will be using the team moving forward to help support my legal needs. Would recommend OpenLegal to those businesses seeking cost-effective quick expert advice from a team of personable skilled lawyers ✌️
