OK - so we knew that the liberalisation of the legal market was going to introduce some changes into the market, but we're a little surprised by the proposition that Quality Solicitors are now offering.
According to today's Law Society Gazette in over 150 branches of WHSmiths from this summer, it will be possible to book appointments for customers to provide conveyancing quotes, sell wills package and even offer their new loyalty card scheme.
This is a very interesting departure from the way that legal services are being sold, and we will watch carefully to see if it works.
Obviously, if it is successful, we'll be despatching our own solicitors onto the streets of Guildford with A-boards offering legal services to passers by.
