Natalie Foster
Chief Executive Officer - Inspire Legal Group

Natalie Foster

As founder and Chief Executive Officer, I’m responsible for the overall vision of Inspire Legal Group alongside my dedicated Board. I’ve a proven track record of growth and success in legal practice which I’m intent on replicating and to date, Inspire Legal Group is set to scale and build on its success.

I’m passionate about leading forward-thinking legal professionals towards the future of legal practices. With over 20 years’ experience in finance, my expertise in anti-financial crime and regulatory compliance for source funds in property transactions has set me apart as a leader to implement new and evolving strategies to shape the future of the legal sector.

Digital

In 2020 in the first week of the pandemic, I launched Inspire Legal Group, incorporating Inspire Crypto and Inspire Legal Academy. As a digital and environmental, social and governance focused firm our mission is to modernise and digitise the legal sector by enabling and educating the industry to work smarter, not harder, with a network of specialisms including tech, training and business.

I’m also on the management team of Vleppo UK, a joint venture between Vleppo and Inspire Legal Group, to deliver blockchain business solutions to UK enterprises.

I’ve embedded pioneering virtual practices and secure online execution which modernise the legal sector and make lives easier for both our clients and legal consultants. I’m working closely with industry regulators, tech specialists and pioneering lawyers to enable WEB3 product development which is essential to reinvent stagnant processes in the legal sector.

I have a passion for anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing. I’m a self-confessed cryptocurrency, digital asset and NFT (non-fungible token) geek, so well placed to disrupt the sector.
Connected

My mission is to support the legal industry and its practitioners through progressive change, as the legal sector is notoriously behind other professions when it comes to digital innovation. Inspire Legal Group has the power to source and collaborate with the right partners, supporting lawyers with a successful remote business as a consultant under our firm model.

We’re a movement and in 2020 I founded #jointhemovement. I’m dedicated to supporting game changing lawyers forging their own path in an ever changing and evolving legal industry. My ambition is to continue to grow a support network of lawyers across the UK who value themselves, their time, their knowledge and believe they can be more successful than if they were ‘heading for that partnership role’.

Accessible

Distance and time are no longer obstacles! The pioneering technology that I championed and embedded into Inspire Legal Group, enables our lawyers to communicate directly through our client portal with their clients with ease and efficiency. Clients can even complete their property transactions on their smartphones

Making lives easier

As a forward-thinking law firm, I’m focussed on delivering digital processes and modern systems to reduce time and costs to our clients.

I’m also focussed on making lives easier for innovative lawyers who want to run their own business without the burden of their practice, insurance and compliance tasks.
