Your Legal Services
When the work crosses the line from self-help into regulated legal delivery, Arvéla routes it to a real firm with a real solicitor and a published price ladder.
The Arvéla guides, the diagnostic tools, and the Planning Companion are educational. They help you understand your position, identify what matters, and arrive at a conversation with a solicitor knowing what you want from it. They are not legal advice, and Cascade Legal Ltd (the company behind the brand) is not an SRA-regulated law firm.
When you decide you want regulated legal work done. A Will drafted, an LPA executed, a trust set up, an estate administered. That work is delivered by Arvéla's chosen legal service provider. The provider is a separate firm, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You contract with the partner directly, on the partner's own engagement terms, and the provider is your solicitor from the moment of instruction.
You always know who your solicitor is. The provider's identity is published below, named in the engagement letter, and disclosed in writing before you commit to instruct.
At launch, Arvéla works with a single regulated firm. Over time, Arvéla may add other regulated providers, for example, in different jurisdictions or for specialist work, and the provider you engage will always be disclosed at the point of instruction.

If Arvéla's chosen legal service provider arrangements change, this page will be updated and existing clients will be notified in writing. The provider of record at the time of your instruction is the provider whose engagement letter you sign.
All prices exclude VAT and any court fees. Prices are set by the chosen legal service provider and published in full on the engagement letter you receive before you instruct.
Add-ons available alongside any tier: testamentary trust drafting (per trust, from £1,500 + VAT); deed of variation (from £750 + VAT); ad-hoc executor support (£300/hour + VAT). Individual Wills and LPAs are priced at £350 + VAT each.

Before any regulated legal work is started, you will receive an engagement letter from the chosen legal service provider. The letter sets out the scope of the work, the fee, who is acting for you, and the terms of business. You can read it, ask questions, and decide whether to instruct. No work begins until the engagement letter is signed.
The engagement letter names the solicitor who will be responsible for your matter. That solicitor is your point of contact, accountable to you for the work and accountable to the SRA for the conduct of it.
The price ladder above is the published ladder. The figure quoted in your engagement letter will match it (or, where work is genuinely outside the standard scope, will be quoted bespoke before any work begins). You will not receive a surprise bill at the end of a piece of work.
You can decide, at any point before signing the engagement letter, that you would rather not proceed. The diagnostic tools and the guides remain yours; nothing about engaging a solicitor is conditional on having read or used them.
The free Estate Health Check takes about ten minutes and routes you to the tier that matches your circumstances. Or read the Essential Guide first.
