Virtual In-House Solicitor (VIHS) was set up by Erika Moralez-Perez in response to a growing disillusionment amongst clients who wanted a more flexible legal service, and greater transparency over fees.

With a background in senior commercial management with and for companies such as HP, Microsoft and Computacenter, Erika saw, from a client’s perspective, that many solicitors were unwilling or unable to meet her expectations, in terms of knowledge and value.

After qualifying as a solicitor, and developing a reputation as a specialist in licensing and compliance, Erika specialised in the commercial law sector, advising clients on corporate and commercial matters, including IT, software, outsourcing and professional services agreements, international distribution agreements, licensing and assignment, commercial contracts and intellectual property rights.

She is also in demand as an event speaker on the importance of law in business.
