It’s hard for businesses to compare legal service providers

Compare Solicitors

It’s ok. It makes perfect sense. Choosing the right lawyer - or even making a decision that you need one - is hard. 

Just because you’ve set up a business doesn't mean that you should be expected to know, instinctively, what type of lawyer your business needs, or how legal services work. Add to this a lack of consistent and objective information on how different law firms and lawyers work - particularly in relation to the customer experience - it stands to reason that you’re a bit at sea. 

And as if all this wasn’t enough, the context of the legal problem you’re tackling, the sense of urgency, stress and other pressures can make the decision-making hurried, less structured and can make the whole ‘lawyer selection process’ feel harder work that it needs to be. It’s not surprising if you’re feeling a bit short of confidence and decision-making-inertia is setting in.

How it is without Ravenna

We understand that you’ll be relying on a mix of indicators when choosing the right lawyer for your business. Some of the things you’ll be looking at might include:

  • At a glance customer experience ratings
  • Customer reviews
  • Success rates
  • Size of firm, location, expertise 
  • Complaints data
  • Quality marks/accreditations
  • Biographies/ “about us” info.

That’s a lot of information from an awful lot of different (and largely unverified) sources. It’s no wonder it can be a little overwhelming.

But do you know the most popular tool for making a decision? A telephone call, to establish a ‘rapport’. Now, wouldn’t it be nice if you knew you were spending your valuable time talking to someone that would actually deliver what you need and want?

How it is with Ravenna...

We’ve come up with a service that takes almost all of the stress, worry and time-consuming trawling through websites away.
