What is
Plus Legal?
We provide commercial and technology law advice to start-ups, scale-ups, FTSE 100 companies and clients of all types and sizes, including government bodies, charities, universities and professional partnerships.
Plus Legal is a commercial law practice founded by Peter Lumley-Savile — a senior solicitor with over twenty years of front-line experience drafting, negotiating and advising on commercial contracts across a wide range of industries and transaction types.
What distinguishes Plus Legal is straightforward: when you instruct us, you work with Peter. Not a junior associate. Not a paralegal managing your matter in the background. You get senior-level thinking applied directly to your situation, every time.
Peter has spent his career sitting across the table from sophisticated counterparties, navigating competing interests and reaching agreement time and time again. That depth of real-world experience is what you bring to your side of the table when you work with Plus Legal.
