Go Legal

Go Legal, a UK litigation practice built around dispute resolution

Go Legal is a UK law firm whose work centres on litigation and dispute resolution. Its own presentation describes the practice as fast and affordable, and states that its lawyers have been described as among "the best litigators in the country". The firm reports that it is rated Excellent on Trustpilot and Google, and it offers a free consultation as the entry point for new matters.

The practice is organised by area of law rather than by client type, and the breadth of its published expertise runs from company insolvency and shareholder conflicts to tax investigations, financial mis-selling and cryptoasset disputes.

A separate director and shareholder disputes line includes director injunctions, breach of director duties, misappropriation of funds, diverting business, just and equitable winding-up, negligence by a director, undisclosed interest, liquidator claims, dismissal excusing liability, director disqualification, shareholder unfair prejudice petitions, derivative claims and restoration of company property.

Tax, HMRC and fraud work

How the firm presents its pricing and service

Go Legal advertises a price and service guarantee: it states it will beat a client's existing quote by at least 10%, that its fees can be up to 50% cheaper than other city firms, and that it works on fixed fees. It also highlights regulated lawyers and a fast response. The site includes a free consultation form that asks for the value of the case, banded as less than £50,000, between £50,000 and £200,000, or over £200,000.

Beyond the legal services, the site publishes client stories, a team section, community and careers pages, a refer-and-earn scheme, feedback, news and podcasts, free legal templates and guides, a funding page and an insolvency and claims tracker.
