An idea born from months of stress & frustration
The idea for Lychee came from personal frustration. I was trying to complete a simple transfer of equity for a property I owned.
Not knowing much about the legal industry at the time, I figured it was safest to hire a reputable lawyer to handle it. At first, things seemed fine — the lawyer was responsive and professional.
But everything changed after I paid an invoice I later realized was massively inflated. Once they'd been paid, the motivation vanished. Replies became slow or non-existent. I found myself constantly chasing them down, only to be brushed off or redirected elsewhere.
That’s when it hit me: the problem wasn’t just this one lawyer — it was the entire legal industry. I had overpaid for a service I didn’t understand, had no visibility into the process, and no real recourse when things went wrong.
I ended up losing £1,200 and wasting weeks of time and energy. Out of that pain, Lychee was born — the legal platform I wish had existed when I needed it.
Built for people like me, who want things done quickly, transparently, and fairly — without the games, guesswork, or jargon.
We’re just getting started, but I hope your experience with Lychee feels like a breath of fresh air — smoother, faster, and far less frustrating than mine was.
No hidden fees. Clear, upfront pricing.
Get started in seconds, not after weeks of back-and-forth.
No chasing. Everything is online and trackable.
Legal services that take days — not months.
Real-time updates in one place. No messy email threads.
If your lawyer doesn’t deliver, you get your money back.
We don’t speak jargon. You’ll always know what’s happening.
We're not here to play the same game as traditional firms. Most law firms charge high fees not because the work is difficult, but because their systems are outdated and inefficient. You're not paying for better service — you're paying to keep their overhead alive.
At Lychee, our goal is simple: keep improving our systems so we can lower our prices over time, without cutting corners or compromising on quality. Legal services should be understandable, affordable, and fast.
