Meet Verity

Hey there! I’m Verity, the Founder and Chief Contract Enthusiast here at Checklist Legal.

I’m a commercial lawyer turned legal innovation expert with a passion for redesigning legal documents, contracts and processes to be easy to read, easy to use and jargon-free. Oh, and I make a delightful Margarita cocktail, too.

And when I’m not helping female founders put the fun back into their legal documents, I’m teaming up with in-house legal legends to automate their workflows, digitise and transform their legal operations.

Ready to craft contracts your clients will love?

Let's Talk Contracts

Legal advice that you can *actually* use AND understand

We make chatting legals fun, empowering and stress-free. We offer tailored packages that fit your business (not the other way around) and keep legal lingo to a minimum out of the conversation so you know exactly what we’re talking about every step of the way.

Practical

We take the time to understand you… That includes your businesses’ mission, vision, and values and we use this to craft bespoke legal documents to support you now and into the future. 

Serious fun

The law and business are serious, but we believe you can still have fun along the way to clever, clear contract design.

We see the big picture

We don’t just deliver contracts, our contracts help give you back time in your day and streamline your processes so you can grow and scale with confidence.  

We fit you 

We know your business changes, which is why we give you the tools and guidance to allow your contracts and processes to grow with you.
