Tesco Law: Every Little Helps
March 19, 2010 in Law by AJ Handley
After Lord Falconer expressed the opinion that there was a need for more cheap and accessible legal advice, Tesco are now launching their own legal services range, on top of their food, home ware and clothing ranges.
In addition to cheap will writing and storage services, Tesco Legal is also poised to offer a DIY divorce kit for less than ten pounds, which put an end to a marriage without the need for a solicitor or legal professional.
The well known chain is also looking at the possibility of introducing DIY letting agreements and bundles including any form required in order to start a limited company. These packs will be supplemented with a glossary of terms and an online Q&A service, which will help users with the often complex legalise.
Experts have suggested that Tesco Legal Store is the start of things to come and that going forward other high street chains will open their own legal services sections, with some implying there will be an even wider range of services available in this manner, especially after a reform in the rules previously governing law firms.
In July 2009 following the release of a consultation document , lord Falconer hailed the move, dubbed ‘Tesco law’, as a visionary start to many more high street companies offering a new type of legal advice to the public. However the leader of the consultation, David Clementi, said the term ‘Tesco law’ was little more than a media coo and urged experts and the public to not be distracted by the term and deal with the real matter.
Whatever you want to call it the prospect of DIY or budget law is definitely a likely one, and if it is rolled out across more companies then the likelihood will be that fewer people will seek legal advice via the traditional channels, with many in the field raising concerns about the quality of this type of legality and urging the public to continue using reputable solicitors practices.
However, The Law Society, seem unconcerned about their members seeing a drop in clients, issuing a statement saying they see Tesco Legal as an “innovative addition to the market”.
If you need advice on law then Oliver & Co offer Chester legal services in a variety of areas such as asbestos claims and motoring.
