Last week our affiliated meetup group Pivotal Tribes held its latest event at Google Campus in Shoreditch, sponsored by Gannons Solicitors (a commercial law firm focused on entrepreneurs) and FreeAgent (accounting software for small businesses and freelancers).

The panel comprised the following, each of whom have built up profitable web properties for different audiences (coincidentally none of the panelists have ever looked for or taken on any outside finance):

• James Eder, Founder of Student Beans, a lifestyle portal for university students that with over 1 million unique visitors each month is the UK’s top website for 16-24 year olds.

• Alex Aldridge, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Legal Cheek, the UK’s most widely read legal blog.

• Julie Falconer, Founder of the A Lady in London luxury travel and lifestyle blog and VisitingEU.com, a network of global travel destination guides that provide practical information and insider tips for independent travelers.

• Paul Staines, Founder of the UK’s leading political blog Guido Fawkes, Co-Founder of Wess Digital and Managing Director of MessageSpace, a digital advertising, media-buying and political campaigning agency.

You can watch the video below to find out what questions were put to the panel, how they answered them and what gems of wisdom and insight came out of the discussion:

Here are some of the tweets from me and others at the event:

About Jonathan Lea

Jonathan is a specialist business law solicitor who has been practising for over 18 years, starting at the top international City firms before then spending some time at a couple of smaller practices. In 2013 he started working on a self-employed basis as a consultant solicitor, while in 2019 The Jonathan Lea Network became a SRA regulated law firm itself after Jonathan got tired of spending all day referring clients and work to other law firms.

The Jonathan Lea Network is now a full service firm of solicitors that employs senior and junior solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and administration staff who all work from a modern open plan office in Haywards Heath. This close-knit retained team is enhanced by a trusted network of specialist consultant solicitors who work remotely and, where relevant, combine seamlessly with the central team.

If you’d like a competitive quote for any legal work please first complete our contact form, or send an email to wewillhelp@jonathanlea.net with an introduction and an overview of the issues you’d like to discuss. Someone will then liaise to fix a mutually convenient time for either a no obligation discovery call with one of our solicitors (following which a quote can be provided), or if you are instead looking for advice and guidance from the outset we may offer a one-hour fixed fee appointment in place of the discovery call.

We are always keen to take on new work and ensure that clients will not only come back to us again, but also recommend us to others too.
