We at Zegal are very excited to announce that today we launched in our 5th country – the UK!
Zegal – from zero to one to five
The idea for Zegal started in 2013 with the vision of a world where the business of law works for everyone. First launched in Hong Kong, and now available in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, Zegal offers a cloud-based legal software that allows SMEs to create and sign legal documents online, work with lawyers to handle legal matters and implement best practice business processes. Since our launch in 2013, we have grown our user base to more than 20,000 business users.
For Zegal CEO, Daniel Walker, and Head of New Business – UK, Chris Sykes, our launch in the UK is a homecoming. Both Daniel and Chris are former English solicitors who found that the small and medium sized business segment received little to zero attention despite making up 85% of most national markets.
Now, with more than 4 years of experience in serving small and medium sized businesses, we have crystallised our philosophy with our new brand Zegal and are excited to go global. To learn more, check out our blog post here.
Ever since moving back to his hometown of Manchester a couple of months ago, Chris has gotten busy meeting with law firms and potential clients to spread the word about Legal Tech. We have found that businesses in the UK are highly receptive to cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. Legal professionals are increasingly using technology solutions in their daily lives. This is a market that no legal tech company can ignore. This is a market that we’re excited to bring our cloud legal software to.
