CLICKLAW24.COM launches low-cost fixed-fee legal advice scheme
London, Monday 11th April 2011. A new on-line fixed-fee legal advice scheme, ClickLaw24.com launched in London, Monday. The new service is a collaboration between London-based solicitors EDC Lord and Co, the barristers’ chambers at 6 Pump Court, Temple, London, and Contact Law: the UK’s leading legal referral agency. ClickLaw24.com provides 24/7 access to on-line fixed-fee legal advice, provided by barristers instructed by EDC Lord and Co. Contact Law will refer clients seeking legal advice into the scheme. Andrew Isitt, Dispute Resolution Partner at EDC Lord and Co said: “ We aim to fill a yawning gap in the legal services market for easy-access, low-cost, fixed-fee legal advice. By instructing barristers to advise, we will be able to provide basic but high quality legal advice across a wide range of topics for a low-cost fixed-fee. Our target market are people who are effectively excluded from accessing legal advice because they do not qualify for Legal Aid, but who cannot afford to pay hundreds of pounds for traditional legal services. ClickLaw24.com will also be a boon for businesses who need fast access to basic legal advice at a fixed-cost”.
Dan Watkins, director of Contact Law said : “Contact Law is delighted to be part of this innovative approach to accessing legal advice. Contact Law has grown rapidly to become the UK’s leading provider of consumer access to law firms for traditional face-to-face legal advice. ClickLaw24.com is an exciting new service which complements our existing business model, and fills a gap in the market for legal services. We look forward to working with EDC Lord and Co and 6 Pump Court to deliver quality legal advice to an even wider cross-section of the public than those who already access our panel law firms”.
Stephen Hockman Q.C. head of chambers at 6 Pump Court added: “We warmly congratulate EDC Lord and Co and Contact Law on their initiative in launching this much-needed scheme. Our involvement will add value in the form of specialist expertise, and at the same time will illustrate the ability of the Bar to offer its services in a new, more cost-effective and more flexible form”.
The service will initially be available throughout England and Wales, but there are plans to extend into other jurisdictions. The fee for accessing legal advice from ClickLaw24.com at launch will be £50 inc Vat. Isitt said “ One of the fundamental principles underpinning ClickLaw24.com is that our pricing structure is completely transparent. We guarantee no hidden charges, so our customers can have complete confidence they will not be asked to pay more than our advertised fixed fee. In addition, they have the reassurance that the advice they are being given is provided by qualified and regulated legal professionals with expertise in their area of law”.
