What Courtney Legal does

Courtney Legal Group Limited operates a multimedia legal education platform that delivers accessible family law information to individuals facing divorce or separation in England and Wales. Founded in 2022 by five women, including family law barristers Samantha Singer and Sophie Wellings of QEB chambers, the platform is chaired by Lewis Marks KC and supported by a growing network of expert contributors from leading law firms and chambers. The core product suite comprises the Courtney Platform (articles, videos, animations, and tools), the "Law Without the Latin" podcast distributed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and free educational articles covering non-court dispute resolution, non-molestation orders, occupation orders, and domestic abuse matters.

The business operates a freemium subscription model. Free content includes introductory articles and podcast episodes, while premium membership is available at £25/month, £125 for six months, and £225 annually, with discounts for longer commitments and a financial hardship policy. Distribution is primarily through self-serve website subscriptions, podcast platforms, and organizational/gift memberships that allow law firms, government departments, and charities to provide account access to third parties. Marketing is anchored on content marketing, podcasting, social media, and email newsletters. The company is a bootstrapped private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 14203085), headquartered in Leicester with a 6-person virtual team.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• LexisNexis: Global legal information and publishing giant providing legal research databases to legal professionals. Has recognized Courtney indicating overlap in the legal-information vertical though primarily serving professionals rather than consumers.
• Rocket Lawyer: Established subscription-based legal services platform offering document templates and limited attorney consultations to consumers and small businesses. Comparable as a subscription-driven consumer legal model but with a broader practice area focus than Courtney's family-law specialization.
• Resolution: UK membership organization for family lawyers promoting non-confrontational resolution of family disputes. Provides free guidance to the public on family law matters and has actually recognized Courtney with an award indicating partial overlap rather than direct competition.
• Citizens Advice: Well-established UK charity providing free legal information across all areas including family law. Operates as a broad incumbent in the consumer legal education space and directly competes with Courtney's free content library on topics like divorce and domestic abuse.

Direct peers

• amicable: UK-based online divorce service that combines mediation with digital tools to provide accessible family law support. Most directly comparable to Courtney Legal given its UK focus, family law specialization, and consumer education emphasis on non-confrontational divorce resolution.
• DoNotPay: Consumer legal-tech platform offering AI-powered assistance with legal documents and disputes across multiple jurisdictions. Comparable as a tech-enabled legal information/automation service aimed at consumers priced out of traditional legal advice, though broader in scope than Courtney's family-law focus.
• Lawhive: UK consumer legal-tech platform providing affordable access to lawyers through technology-enabled services. Shares Courtney's mission of democratizing legal access in England and Wales and serves overlapping consumer segments facing family law and other personal legal issues.

Regional players

• National Family Mediation: UK charity promoting family mediation as an alternative to court proceedings. Operates in the same England and Wales family law education space as Courtney with aligned messaging on non-court dispute resolution, but as a free service rather than paid subscription.
