The benefits of ecommerce/online solicitors

We might ask why not?

After all, our clients use us without complaint or hindrance. See our client testimonials for more.

Our view is that thanks to modern technology more than 2.1 million people work from home offices full time and another 8 million spend at least some of the working week at home instead of at the office (according to the Office of National Statistics).Some forward thinking chambers of barristers do this already as do some partners in more employee friendly law firms when on maternity leave.

Then again if you doubt using us as an online virtual service, ask yourself if you, your family or friends or your business does any of the following:

Telephone or internet banking;
Online tax returns;
Internet financial services for cost comparison and for buying: mortagages,home and contents insurance,car insurance, life insurance or holiday insurance;
Internet energy use/cost comparisons through U-Switch for instance;
Internet shopping-Opodo/ Sainbury’s/ Lastminute/ Amazon etc;
Internet or teletext holiday reservations;
Internet travel bookings-airports-airport parking etc;
Internet job searches;
Internet e-tendering/bidding;
Internet entertainment-news, music, TV, radio, films, chatrooms and blogs;
Plus day to day purchases-DIY/specialist catalogues.

There has been a phenomenal growth in internet usage over the last few years which has lead to e-learning (for example the Open University)and Business Lawyers sees no reason why legal services may not be provided in a similar way through the use of such modern technology. 

Additionally you will find the following benefits: 

Convenience of contact-email/telephone/mobile/fax/Instant Messaging /VOIP etc;
Flexibility-we do not operate a 9-5 Monday-Friday service but provide cover for evening, weekend and holiday periods as well as for “emergency” matters;
Plain English-we cut out legalese to speak in the language of business;
Cost-fewer office overheads so lower charges are passed onto clients;
Payment flexibility-online credit and debit card payments helping you to spread payments over a period of time;
Capped fee and fixed fee quotes for work of a “project basis” so providing clients with cost certainty and few fee “surprises”;
Empathy-we speak the language of business being an SME ourselves and as such do not charge for certain admin costs other law firms charge for-opening of post and certain fax and postage fees for instance;
Approachability-see our website for these free no obligation enquiry services: Ring back; Ask A Legal Question and Book A Free Appointment;
Disability friendly and aware and embracing of diversity in the workplace;
Free legal updates helping you save money by way of newsletters, audio seminars and video streaming webinars and news.
Plus planned for 2007,you may apply to join:
