About us
We believe in access to justice for everyone.
Our mission
Our mission is to simplify and demystify the legal process, making it accessible and affordable for everyone.
Our values
Knowledge is power. At enlighten we believe that high quality legal information should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive lawyers.
Clarity
In the often murky waters of legal processes, we strive to be a beacon of clarity.
We demystify legal jargon and processes, making the information accessible to everyone. Like you, we are tired of meaningless business speak, so we never say something that doesn't actually mean anything.
User empowerment
We believe in empowering our members with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate their situation.
Our comprehensive resources and tools enable our members to take control of their legal journey with confidence.
Pricing & Integrity
We operate with honesty and transparency, ensuring our members have all the information they need without hidden fees or agendas.
Our commitment to integrity means our users can trust us to be fair, open, and honest in every interaction.
Our founders
Catherine and Suzanne first met at antenatal classes while enormously pregnant with their first children. They were delighted to discover they shared a sense of humour and also, it turned out, a complete naivety about how much their lives were about to change. Two more children, many personal dramas and hundreds of cups of tea later, they are now lifelong friends.
Catherine Thomas
Catherine is an expert family law solicitor with over 15 years experience. She has led some of the most complicated cases in the family courts and has poured her extensive legal and practical experience into enlighten.
Suzanne James
Suzanne is a highly-skilled operations professional. Holding executive roles in both tech and creative companies, she drove those businesses through significant growth and positive change. enlighten benefits from her creative yet practical approach to business.
Special thanks
It would not have been possible to do this without the help and expertise of Charlie Bell. Charlie's input was invaluable at a time when the business needed it most, and for that we will always be incredibly grateful.
What we can't do
We can do a lot, but we can’t do everything.
While enlighten is founded by a lawyer with over 15 years of professional experience, we are not a law firm. This means that we can provide you with a huge amount of advice and information about divorce, separation arrangements for your children and other family situations, but we can’t offer tailored and specific advice.
