Leaders in innovative software to collate legal directory submissions for barristers’ sets & law firms

Saving valuable staff time on repetitive tasks, our software enables lawyers, marketing teams and clerks to focus on what is important. A results-oriented game changing product.

Who is HANDYSIDE LEGAL?

We are experienced professionals who want to make our clients’ and our lives better by reducing boring tasks to a minimum. That way we can all focus on what is important and improve our results. In a nutshell, we want our input to improve our clients’ lives.

Our ambition is for our product to be the industry standard. The amount of pointless and expensive duplication in the legal directory submission process is depressing. With handyside.legal software it is also unnecessary.

handyside.legal system has made an enormous difference to our marketing team. One person can handle the submissions in less than a quarter of the time it usually takes. This has enabled my team to spend the time we have saved on far more profitable activities that bring business into chambers.”

Paul Gray,

Head of Marketing, Brick Court Chambers

DO WE DO?

We remain focused on constantly improving our innovative software to improve lawyers, marketing teams and clerks’ working lives. Our three-pillar strategy underpins it all:

handyside.legal eliminates keying errors in both written submissions and referee spreadsheets.

Negates any need for cutting and pasting in Word and Excel to create submissions.

Saves hundreds of hours’ time and months of work by valuable staff whose time could be more usefully spent on other projects.
