Trusted by growing businesses

Real feedback from business owners using Clearly Business Law for practical, approachable legal support.

“We are delighted to have supported Relode in their important funding round in 2025. Relode is delivering exactly the kind of clean-energy infrastructure the UK needs if it is to meet its net-zero goals, and we’re proud to play a part in that transition. This transaction reflects the type of work where our background in leading law firms, combined with our hands-on, partner-led approach, enables us to provide pragmatic advice to growing businesses and their founders.

“Clearly Business Law played a vital role in helping us complete our most recent funding round smoothly and on schedule. Their team brought a clear, commercially minded approach to every stage of the process, giving us confidence that the legal fundamentals were in expert hands. Their responsiveness, practicality, and understanding of our business made them an invaluable and trusted partner. We’re grateful for their support and look forward to continuing the relationship as Relode expands its Power Park network across the UK.”
