  • 136 - Is Your Real Estate Law Firm Being Left Behind?
    Sep 30 2025

    My next guest is Simon Davis, Co-CEO and Co-Founder at Nimbus, which is a business in the Midlands specialising in property and land intelligence. Their clients consist of property professionals who are doing investment and developments for themselves and are also the professionals that service them, such as surveyors, planners, architects and some lawyers. In the last year, Nimbus has grown by 50% now with a team of over 60.

    On this episode, we're covering how real estate clients are adopting technology at a fast pace, and so law firms must keep up or they’ll get left behind.

  • 134 - A Certificate Or Resilience, Which Matters Most?
    Sep 16 2025

    My guest on this episode is Natalie Foster, Founder and CEO of Inspire Legal Group, which is an ABS structure law firm leading the way on building their own tech stack to improve day-to-day access to justice for clients, taking the pain out of property transactions and supporting disabled clients with bespoke solutions to facilitate just outcomes.

    Inspire Legal was born in lockdown 5 years ago in a bedroom on a laptop, and the question was, "If the world never opens up again, how are we going to practice law?" and to this day, this is the question Natalie and her team keep answering to make access and convenience to law their focus.

    With 400% growth in work this year alone, it's clear this is a priority for clients too.

    Natalie is also the founder of Legally Fond, a consultancy that supports other legal leaders in the change space, where she practically supports them in leading change management whilst minimising business interruption.

    Today, what we're covering is whether a certificate or resilience matters most.

  • 132 - How a law firm can attract private equity
    Aug 12 2025

    My next guest is Simon David, the Group Chief Executive of Thomas Legal and Equilaw, both of which are multi-award-winning firms.

    Thomas Legal is a niche conveyancing firm based in Gloucestershire and London, which predominantly transacts in the middle to upper end of the property market, including prime central London. Equilaw, on the other hand, advises clients in the specialist later life lending space and is the largest in the UK.

    Simon has worked in both estate agency and financial services before retraining as a lawyer.

    His businesses attracted a very substantial Private Equity investment in 2019.

    He currently sits on the Law Society Council representing Gloucestershire and Wiltshire and spends his spare time mentoring other business owners and young people, as well as fundraising for his charity in Sierra Leone that he runs with his wife.

    In this episode, Simon shares with us his experience of raising private equity investment and what a law firm owner needs to do to attract a similar opportunity.
