It's the way we do it

At Hive Legal, our goal is to improve the legal industry experience we provide for both our clients and our team, in every way we can.

Our difference

From the beginning, we’ve embraced a unique model that allows us to deliver an unparalleled service to our clients

We don’t just provide excellent legal advice; we offer a comprehensive service that considers the entire client journey, focusing on their needs and providing a service that has real, tangible value to them. That's why we don’t use timesheets or billable hours; instead, we offer a fixed-priced model that gives cost certainty based on the actual value we deliver.

We're believe in leveraging the latest technologies to improve efficiency and outcomes, and using continuous innovation through initiatives like HiveThinkP to ensure we keep pushing boundaries and delivering the best results.

We truly listen to our clients and think creatively to enhance their experience, tailoring our deliverables to their unique needs and adding value where it's needed most at every step. Our commitment to a value-based billing model ensures our clients receive certainty and clarity in our pricing, fostering trust and satisfaction.

Our approach

At Hive Legal, our approach is all about people, purpose, and delivering an exceptional experience for all

Delivering excellence is a given, but we also focus on innovation, flexibility, and truly understanding what our clients need. We take the time to listen to our clients, get to know their expectations, and tailor our services to achieve the best outcomes. By carefully scoping each matter, we make sure we cover all the bases and provide effective, comprehensive solutions.

What really sets us apart from more traditional firms is our flexible working model. We give our team the freedom to choose where and when they work, fostering a culture of trust and work-life balance. This flexibility creates a positive work environment, which means our team is happier, more engaged, and able to deliver better services to our clients.

Our human-centered approach means we always prioritise what matters most to our clients and our team. We're dedicated to building strong, lasting relationships and delivering exceptional, client-focused legal services. By promoting a supportive and collaborative culture, we ensure that both our clients and our team can thrive.

Our story

Over a decade of doing things differently

In 2014, we took a bold step away from traditional law firm conventions with a vision of creating something genuinely new. Our mission was always to provide top-quality legal services while making a difference in how we deliver them.

Since then, our team has grown from just six members to over forty. Despite this growth, some things have remained constant. We still offer value pricing and have never used timesheets. We continue to have a remote and hybrid workplace given our firm has been carefully designed around the wellbeing and practical needs of our clients and our team.

The pioneering business model that we established a decade ago continues to be a hub of innovation, evolving to meet our clients' needs with new and diverse offerings. We are close partners with leading legal tech providers, constantly seeking new ways to serve our clients better.

From the beginning, legal excellence has been our standard, and we continually strive to deliver the best outcomes. Improving the experience for our clients inspires us and drives our approach to everything we do.

Our initiatives

We use our legal prowess as a force for good

At Hive Legal, we're endlessly inspired by the potential the legal industry has to drive change and are committed to using our work as a force for good in the world. Our initiatives are a testament to this commitment, reflecting our dedication to community engagement, social impact, and environmental responsibility. Our initiatives align our practices with our values and help us achieve a real and lasting positive impact on society.
