"At Nexa, we offer unrivalled support, from cutting-edge legal tech to experienced backoffice teams who truly understand your needs."
Nexa was founded in 2017 by Eliot Hibbert and John Roberts with full approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as a regulated law firm.
In January 2020, Nexa Law expanded its reach by acquiring Peregrine, a well-established law firm. This acquisition broadened Nexa's service offerings and marked its strategic entry into the London legal market, boosting its national presence.
Following the Peregrine acquisition, Nexa Law opened its London office in 2020. This expansion into the UK's commercial and legal hub enhanced Nexa's accessibility to clients and underscored its commitment to growth.
By the end of 2020, Nexa Law had grown its team to 50 skilled lawyers. This milestone reflected the firm's success in attracting top legal talent, positioning it to deliver exceptional services across various practice areas.
By 2022, Nexa Law doubled its roster to 100 lawyers, showcasing the success of its flexible, modern legal platform. This growth reinforced Nexa's reputation as a thriving legal community with a significant industry impact.
Today, Nexa Law has grown to 190+ lawyers, solidifying its status as a leading industry frontrunner. This ongoing expansion highlights Nexa's commitment to innovation and quality, offering an unmatched experience for clients and legal professionals alike.

Everything you need to know about joining Nexa as an individual lawyer
For urgent applications like non-molestation orders, you manage the legal work directly. Many consultants find they respond faster as consultants because there is less internal “red tape” to navigate.
No. Nexa holds client money on your behalf. Cashiering is handled by our finance team, and you have full visibility of all transactions through the platform.
These are managed through the Nexa cashiering system. Our finance team handles recovery and allocation of costs and can advance disbursements in appropriate circumstances.
Absolutely. Whether your focus is international family law, HNW financial remedy, or surrogacy, Nexa gives you the freedom to position your practice in the direction that suits your expertise.
Yes. You can work under your own personal brand, the Nexa name, or a combination. We fully support solicitors who have built a strong personal reputation and referral network.
Nexa pays a 15% referral fee on work you introduce to consultant colleagues within the network. This creates an additional income stream on top of your own billing.
From welcoming the newest consultant lawyers, to deep dives into the shifting legal landscape & firm-wide milestones, this is the heartbeat of the Nexa community.
