Local law firms around England and Wales have united under the QualitySolicitors brand and launched a multi-million pound, national campaign last night designed to shake up the legal world and help make solicitors’ services more accessible to everyone.

The £15 million campaign, which is the largest in the history of the legal profession, kicked off with a 90-second TV advert screened in a primetime slot during the live final of ITV’s Dancing on Ice, on 25th March. 8,000 more adverts will hit TV screens over the coming months and a new website, featuring 300 video testimonials from clients explaining the services that QualitySolicitors offer on the high street, will also be launched at the end of the month.

QualitySolicitors’ national network of lawyers consists of 350 branches across England and Wales, including 150 Legal Access Points in WHSmith stores. QualitySolicitors is on course for its target of expanding to 1,000 locations by the end of 2012.

QualitySolicitors branches offer a full range of everyday legal services, from buying your first home, to starting a business or making a will. As part of QualitySolicitors’ commitment to changing the way lawyers give advice, more QualitySolicitors branches across the country are opening on Saturdays, to reflect the needs of customers.

Chief Executive of QualitySolicitors, Craig Holt, says, “Our aim is to revolutionise legal services, giving people local advice they can trust with the reassurance that comes from a single, national brand. We want to make going to your local solicitor as simple and straightforward as going to the supermarket, and tackle people’s apprehensions about seeking legal advice, which can seem a daunting and stuffy process. QualitySolicitors’ mission is to provide consumer-friendly legal services through expert, leading local law firms - not unqualified staff in remote call centres.”
