What makes us different
While you may not immediately think it, the law has an integral part to play in many of the major milestones that punctuate your life. From buying your first house, to planning for your children's education, to dealing with employment issues, disputes, injuries and negligence, to preparing for your retirement and how to structure your will – each requires you to become involved with the law, understand how it affects you personally, and get help in applying it to achieve a favourable outcome.
Given that many of these events are fundamental to your life, we believe you should be aware of the latest legal developments and be given practical advice on how they affect you. Indeed, it is this desire to demystify and make accessible an all too opaque part of modern life that lead us to create Access Legal, the full-service, private client arm of leading national law firm Shoosmiths.
Keeping you informed
You may have already had some experience of working with Shoosmiths or Access Legal and have expressed an interest in being kept abreast of new developments, or this may be the first time you have heard of us. Either way if you sign up to receive our newsletter, we won't abuse your trust by bombarding you with a myriad of communications, but will merely drop you timely updates that we feel could be relevant and hope that you think of us should you ever need a lawyer.
And, as we appreciate that you may not have had any experience of us in your life - we thought it might be helpful to provide a short overview of who we are and what we are about.
Practical and accessible advice for all life's major milestones
We understand that for non-lawyers, the law can often be confusing and frustrating, but we believe strongly that it doesn't have to be so. That's why we have assumed a mandate to provide a different kind of legal service: one that makes the law easily accessible and that understands quickly the nature of your situation or problem so that our specialists can provide clear explanations, practical advice, and the guidance that you need to make informed decisions.
Nationwide specialist expertise delivered personally
At the heart of our offer is our ability to provide a nationwide legal service that delivers the kind of personalised service that you might have expected could only come from the local solicitor that had known your family for years. We use every modern tool available to ensure you can reach our people when you need them and that they have a full understanding of all that has already happened between us. Importantly, we couple this with levels of subject matter expertise and experience that can only come from a nationwide firm of scale.
Committed to achieving the most positive results
One thing you can be certain of is that Access Legal's dedicated team of lawyers and support staff is committed to achieving the very best outcome for you. We can promise that whatever your need, there will always be someone here who can help. We are simply a call, email or mouse click away.
