We care about the impact our work has on our clients. Is the solution practical? Does it help them achieve the outcome they seek? Does it solve the legal or compliance challenge our client faces, now and into the future?
We have evolved. We’re excited about our approach and how it will impact the way we solve problems for our clients. Combining learning, programmes, software and legal services to solve legal problems, is where the magic happens.
Traditional legal services need to evolve
Traditional law meant that lawyers held their knowledge and expertise close to their chests, and dished out advice from a position of power to those who could afford it. Michalsons saw that this meant there was a disconnect between the solutions provided and what clients really wanted. We needed to transform legal services to make them accessible, empowering and helpful. By doing this we ensure that the services we provide are exactly what the client requires.
We believe the law should be accessible through learning
We started this journey by defining our focus areas and then writing posts, and a lot of them, on our website. We gave away our insights for free, describing the problems our clients were facing, and then sharing ideas as to how to solve them. Enabling them to find lawful solutions. We were very early adopters of plain language principles, turning our back on legalese and transforming the way our clients experienced the quagmire of old-school contracts. We make them meaningful.
We offered our first public webinars way back in 2008. Regular events allow us to engage with our clients, hear what they need and share solutions. This evolved into our “Learning” offering. Live and recorded training, online and in-person workshops and now stepping into the realms of eLearning. We recognise that people learn in different ways and to empower our clients we need to provide the learning tools they may need for everyone in their organisation to develop awareness. We make legal services accessible.
The law can’t make the world better if people don’t know about it
We empower our clients in programmes
Next was to make legal services empowering. How could our clients access our insights into the law and apply those insights and guidance in a cost-effective way? The next step in our evolution – the Michalsons programmes. We’ve collected a wealth of knowledge in our focus areas and placed it into our modular, excellently-priced programmes. Allowing you to explore and research different topics as you need them. Modules are supported by live weekly webinars, recorded presentations, easy access laws, templates, tools and practical actions to take to ensure that your organisation has the guidance you require at your fingertips.
Our programmes empower people to take action – do the work
Legal innovation and software is essential
And now we’re making legal services helpful. The complexity of organisational data flows, systems and processes have increased significantly. And along with them, compliance, risk management and reporting requirements. As legal, risk or compliance it is almost impossible to achieve the sustained, practical outcomes you seek without using software. Michalsons is at the forefront of combining legal know-how and tech implementation – a unique combination of skills. Our experience in implementing these solutions enables us to identify, recommend, configure and implement the best option for your organisation.

We’re helpful by providing services
Michalsons also provides bespoke services to our clients. We are more effective because we work using radical collaboration. We have a diverse team (not just made up of lawyers) with specialist skills. We step into our client’s shoes, considering all aspects of their legal or compliance problem and the impact of potential solutions. We then work to advise, guide, design, draft, implement and where necessary manage projects, to ensure that the solution is practical and sustained.
We’re a multi-disciplinary team with different skill sets
Our approach
Our evolution has led to us altering our approach. While we provide many of our solutions separately, our experience validates that combining learning, programmes, software and traditional legal services to solve legal problems, is where the magic happens. Join us.
