Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors says fixed-fee prenup review demand jumped 233%

Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors says its fixed-fee PreNuptial Review service has handled 54 clients since launching in January 2026, with October demand up 233% from January. The firm says growing social media attention on prenups is helping drive more couples in England and Wales toward independent legal advice before marriage.

Why it matters: - Prenuptial agreements in England and Wales carry more weight when both partners get independent legal advice, making the second solicitor a critical part of the process. - A fixed-fee review service can reduce cost uncertainty for the person asked to sign a prenup drafted by their partner’s lawyer. - The firm expects demand to keep rising through 2027 as prenups draw more attention online and more couples consider them before marriage.

What happened: - Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors says its PreNuptial Review service has advised 54 clients since launching in January 2026. - The service gives the second party to a prenuptial agreement independent legal advice for a fixed fee of £399 including VAT. - The firm said it advised 3 clients in January 2026 and 10 clients in October 2026 to date, which it described as a 233% increase. - Average monthly instructions over the latest three months were 90% higher than in the first three months after launch.

The details: - The service is aimed at “Party B,” the person asked to sign a prenuptial agreement drafted by their partner’s solicitor. - A specialist family solicitor reviews each clause, explains the effect in plain English and flags any terms that could restrict rights under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. - Where needed, the solicitor can help negotiate amendments to the agreement. - The fixed fee means the client knows the cost before work begins. - Prenuptial agreements are not automatically binding in England and Wales. - Since the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Radmacher v Granatino, courts give significant weight to an agreement if it was entered into freely, with full financial disclosure and with both parties having received independent legal advice. - An agreement signed without that advice is less likely to be upheld if the marriage ends. - The same solicitor cannot act for both partners, so the second party must instruct a separate solicitor. - The service is available to anyone in England and Wales who has been asked to sign a prenuptial agreement. - Further information is available at the firm’s website.

Between the lines: - Mark Keenan, founder and CEO of Online Legal Services, said people handed a prenup drafted by their partner’s lawyer often want support that is both independent and predictable on cost. - Keenan said helping 54 couples in the first year shows strong demand for straightforward, fixed-fee advice. - Georgina Hitchins, solicitor at OLS Solicitors, said the second party needs to fully understand what they are signing and have their interests protected. - Hitchins said proper independent advice also gives the agreement its best chance of being upheld, which benefits both partners. - The growth in instructions suggests more consumers are looking for lower-friction legal help around prenups rather than open-ended hourly billing.

What's next: - Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors expects demand to continue rising through 2027. - The firm is likely to keep positioning the review service as a fixed-fee option for people who need independent advice before signing. - The business also offers prenuptial agreement drafting and a high net worth prenup service through its broader OLS Solicitors brand. - Prenuptial Agreement Solicitors is a trading brand of OLS Solicitors, part of Online Legal Services Solicitors Limited, and says it is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
