What amicable does

Amicable (legal entity: E-Negotiation Ltd) is a UK-based direct-to-consumer online legal service that helps separating and divorcing couples in England and Wales reach financial and parenting agreements outside of traditional solicitor-led litigation. Founded in 2015 by Kate Daly and Pip Wilson following Daly's own divorce experience, the company sells a tiered portfolio of fixed-fee services — from a £300 Simple Divorce through £1,200–£1,800 Automated and Assisted Divorce + Consent Order packages to £3,450–£5,910 Guided and Complete Negotiation services — with optional add-ons including a £310 Separating with Children service, £210 Joint Advice Consultation, a Co-parenting mobile app, and a recurring amicable Space membership. Underlying technology consists of a customer-facing dashboard for status tracking and financial disclosure submission, a Service Diagnostic tool that routes users to appropriate tiers, video/telephone consultations delivered via Teams and Calendly, and standard infrastructure (Stripe payments, HubSpot CRM, Cloudflare, PostHog analytics, Google/Meta advertising pixels); no AI/ML capability is evidenced.

The business model is predominantly transactional services revenue (fixed fees with optional 3–10 month payment plans and split-between-couple billing) supplemented by a nascent recurring layer via amicable Space membership. Go-to-market is a multi-channel direct-to-consumer motion combining traditional awareness (2024 London OOH and radio "Friends & Family" campaign, 2025 first national TV ad "Still a Family"), content marketing (The Divorce Podcast, advice blog, community forum, free tools such as Court Fees Calculator and Divorce Timeline), and paid acquisition (Google, Meta, Reddit, YouTube). The customer base is a long tail of individual separating couples served by an 80+ person team dominated by former family solicitors and mediators, with a notional B2B "Employers" channel for employee assistance programs that remains underdeveloped. Amicable is B Corp certified (2026), a LexisNexis Legal Awards 2023 winner, and has raised approximately £2.4M in disclosed funding across 2017, 2020, and March 2022 rounds, the last led by 24 Haymarket and timed to the UK's No-Fault Divorce legislation.
