Pay-As-You-Go Legal Advice

Quick, expert legal advice – without committing to a retainer.

Sometimes, you just need fast, reliable legal support without a long-term agreement. Our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) package is designed for businesses and individuals who need expert legal guidance for those quick questions and ad-hoc matters. This package gives you the support you need, when you need it, without being tied into a contract.

Pay-as-you-go packages are available in 3, 6, or 10 hour bundles.

Fixed pricing starts from £495 – so you only pay for what you use.

Fast, reliable Legal support for reviewing letters or emails before sending, understanding legal obligations, and making informed business decisions.

Straightforward pricing – if a query is more complex, we’ll let you know before continuing.

Ideal for:

Getting a legal check on important communications. Receiving quick guidance, clarifying legal obligations, or addressing potential business disputes before they escalate.

I realised quickly that I needed a top lawyer on the end of the phone. Rachael at McKenzie Legal & HR came highly recommended by an A&E consultant who mentioned her by name – and she was quite simply my salvation. Over the past few years I called on her frequently for urgent advice – and thanks to her guidance, I survived, even through the challenges of COVID-19. Sometimes her words were the only kind words I heard. First-class personal service. Absolutely amazing. I highly recommend McKenzie Legal & HR to anyone.”
