Fee model and payment methods

Parachute Law structures its fees in two main ways: fixed fee or pay-as-you-go (PAYG), at the client's choice. The company states that its quotes include all anticipated costs and that it does not apply hidden costs. For those who need faster turnaround than the standard scope, it offers an expedited service with a supplement on the fixed fee, which may involve work outside normal hours, during breaks or at weekends. The firm also mentions a packaged legal advice service designed to allow clients to handle part of the process themselves and thereby reduce their fees.

Remote support and geographic coverage

The firm serves its clients directly by phone, email or video conference, with no need to travel. Although its office is in London, it provides online services throughout England and Wales. The company states that it supports its local community and the surrounding Berkshire area.

Team and recognition

The firm is led by Claudine Boast, CEO, and has a team of solicitors featured on its website. Parachute Law highlights its Trustpilot reviews, where it states it maintains a five-star rating, and describes itself as part of an "Uberisation" movement in legal services, aimed at making law more accessible and affordable.
