Lucy Wheeler (34) is the founder of Lucy Legal Limited, the go-to accessible and affordable legal services company for entrepreneurs. While the perception can be that lawyers are stuffy, boring people who over-complicate issues, Lucy breaks the mould – she is known as a Badass Lawyer to her clients!
After graduating from King’s College London, Lucy joined the legal rat race in London, working in commercial litigation. A decade later, Lucy had launched Lucy Legal Limited, a legal templates business established to support business owners in protecting their work and online business relationships.
No stranger to overcoming challenges, Lucy climbed Kilimanjaro on her 30th birthday, ran 50 miles in one day during a 6 marathon/5-day challenge in the Jordan desert, trekked the Arctic Circle, and cycled from London to Paris in under 24 hours. As these fitness challenges progressed, Lucy started to blog about her experiences, eventually supporting others within the fitness community with business advice and her first set of legal templates – a bundle for bloggers. From there, the templates portfolio was expanded, and Lucy Legal was born.
As a practicing lawyer specialising in corporate and commercial law, Lucy is passionate about educating small businesses and start-ups on what they need to do so that they can easily protect themselves and their livelihoods. As more and more people begin to re-evaluate their lives and try running their own business , Lucy’s work has never been more important. She is on a mission to show that legal is a necessity not a luxury, that it is not an expensive afterthought or complicated, but is in fact simple, accessible and available to all.
