Aqqord Limited is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA ID 8008171) and serves the commercial property sector in England and Wales. It's an independent business, answerable to its customers, and it follows the SRA's rules like any solicitor's firm.
Technology and law together
Aqqord's founders come from technology and from commercial property law. Together they built a platform for the landlords, tenants and managing agents who negotiate and complete commercial leases.
Our story
Aqqord brings technology and commercial property law together, to give landlords and tenants a quicker, fairer way to negotiate and complete a commercial lease.
Yaakov Smith
Tech talent
Our technical head, Yaakov Smith, an Oxford University first class graduate, brought experience as Head of IT at a large legal practice into the Aqqord mix.
With over 20 years’ experience of dealing with document automation within the property and legal sectors, he realised that his expertise could be used to streamline the commercial lease process.
Richard Kaufman
Legal expertise
Richard Kaufman is a specialist property lawyer, with over four decades of experience most of which were as a senior partner in a prominent London law firm.
He has overseen the process of drafting the documents to ensure they are legally binding and fair to landlords and tenants alike.
Our platform
Collaboration
Their work together produced a platform that lets landlords and tenants agree a lease without the weeks of drafts traded between two firms.
Aqqord is an easy-to-use online service for negotiating and completing commercial leases and licences. It takes far less time than the traditional route and costs much less, for the landlord and the tenant alike.
