LONDON, UK, 13 January 2022 — The Institute of Directors (IoD) Launches Exclusive Partnership with Zegal, increasing legal protection for more than 20,000 UK small and medium sized businesses.

Access to legal services is one of the key pillars in the growth of the small business sector. A 2021 report by the Legal Services Board concluded that ‘across the board, SMEs are frustrated that getting legal issues resolved can be costly and time-consuming’. That’s why the UK’s Institute of Directors is working in conjunction with Zegal, to give IoD members free access to the Zegal web App which includes 1,000s of legal templates designed specifically for UK small business.

Zegal is a legal services platform for SMEs used by over 20,000 organisations globally to manage contracts digitally, to save time and money, and increase legal protection so that they grow faster.

Jonathan Geldart, Director General of the IoD, said:

“Directors equipped with the tools they need to be legally compliant can run better, more transparent organisations. We are delighted to be working with Zegal and their legaltech platform to compliment the extensive range of technology solutions built for leaders of small and medium sized businesses, already available to our members. ”

Daniel Walker, Founder of Zegal, said:

“The IoD is the leading organisation for small and medium sized businesses in the UK, and we could not be more excited that they have chosen our platform for their members. This exclusive collaboration creates a fantastic opportunity for the IoD and Zegal to satisfy the unmet needs of many 1,000s of SMEs. Whether members are looking for a quick NDA, employment contract, raising money or even selling their business, each contract template includes a step-by-step Document Builder, designed by legal experts so users can create bespoke contracts in minutes. The process is always the same. Select your template, edit, negotiate, finalise and eSign without ever leaving the App. ”
