The legal profession was never built for you. So I built something that is.
Plain-English legal protection for solopreneurs and micro-businesses written by a solicitor, priced for a real business, and designed to make
running yours easier, not harder.
THE PROBLEM.
You're building something real. Taking on clients, sending invoices, delivering great work. But underneath it there is a feeling you can't quite switch off.
The invoice you sent without proper terms.
The client who went quiet.
The contract you found on Google two years ago and never actually read.
The privacy policy that you copied from someone else's website.
​
That feeling isn't paranoia. It's your instinct telling you something is missing.
​
Here is the part that no-one in my profession will say out loud: that gap isn't your fault. Legal protection was built for corporates. Small businesses were priced out, talked down to and made to feel they weren't worth the time. So most solopreneurs do the rational thing - they wing it.
​
I spent almost 20 years in that system. Then I left to close the gap.
Most solopreneurs think they're protected. Most are wrong.
You probably downloaded a template. You ticked a GDPR box. You've got something on your website.
​
That doesn't make you protected. It makes you feel protected - which is the more dangerous of the two.

THE PROTECTION PROTOCOL
There's a way to do this properly. I call it The Protection Protocol.

Every business I protect moves through the same five stages.
Wherever you are right now, there's a way in.

WHY LAUNCH LEGAL IS DIFFERENT
Plain English, always
No jargon, no Latin, no making you feel small for asking. Plain English isn't dumbing it down, it's respect.
​
Built for you, not corporates
​Designed specifically for freelancers, creators, and service-based businesses. Everything fits the way you actually work.
Priced for real business
Proper legal protection at a fraction of the usual cost. Budget should never be the reason you stay exposed.

Tom Floate, Business Owner
Hi, I'm Catherine. I'm a lawyer, but not the kind you're probably imagining.
I'm a qualified solicitor and mediator with over 15 years' experience, and I left corporate law on purpose.
​
I spent years watching large businesses operate from complete legal confidence, knowing exactly what their contracts covered and exactly what to do when something went wrong. Then I started working with solopreneurs and freelancers building something just as real, with none of the same protection.
​
The gap was extraordinary. And completely unnecessary.
​
After my mum passed away in 2015, everything shifted. It made me rethink the difference I wanted to make. I had the knowledge to close that gap, I just needed a better way to share it.
​
So I built Launch Legal to make proper legal protection accessible and affordable, so budget is never the thing that holds your business back.
I've lived it, I've seen what it costs when it's missing, and I built this so you never have to find out the hard way.
