Counsel Bids
Free pilot · Business users only

Join the free pilot.

Counsel Bids gets you prices from several law firms for the same piece of legal work, in one format, so you can compare them side by side. We are working with a small group of businesses, in-house legal teams and law firms to shape it before launch. Tell us who you are and we will come back to you by email.

If you buy legal services

  • Describe the legal work you need done, not the story behind it, and choose which firms to ask. If you do not know any, we can help you find them.
  • Every firm answers in the same format, so you compare price, team and timing side by side.
  • Keep a record of why you chose a firm that your finance team and auditor can read.

If you are at a law firm

  • Quote for clearly scoped work from buyers ready to instruct.
  • Your price stays yours: no firm ever sees another's quote.
  • You run your conflict check before you see the full brief, and we never take a cut of your fees.
  • Free during the pilot. After it, firms pay a flat subscription, published before launch; founding firms hear first.

To check your firm is regulated we ask for your SRA number and a named partner or director after you apply. More for law firms

Free during the pilot. What firms pay after it will be published before launch, and founding firms hear first.
