IY LEGAL is a Legal Services Firm based in the City of London led by Andrew Iyer. We provide English law advice and services to the Commodities, Energy, Insurance, International Trade, Logistics, Offshore, Renewables, Shipping and Transport sectors and to connected businesses and concerns. We assist clients across their business activities, providing a wide range of legal services and commercial support.
Our combination of first class legal expertise and experience, a thorough understanding of our clients’ businesses and the sectors they operate in, accompanied by a strategic approach to problem solving, enables us to achieve excellent results for our clients and deliver real value for money.
How legal services are provided in the UK changed in 2008 with the introduction of the Legal Services Act. Very often clients do not have to instruct solicitors and incur their significant fees. In our specialised areas we are a highly skilled, cost effective, business focused alternative to a traditional firm of solicitors.
