The team at Jackson Lees Group work hard each month to try to provide insightful content across a range of subjects and legal situations. They do this as part of our ongoing mission to help clients get to grips with where they stand in a range of legal situations.
Whilst reviewing the 30 or so articles and videos produced during the lockdown period, an interesting pattern emerged as a number of articles from different departments focused on how clients could access legal services without having to leave their homes.
It struck me reading these articles that accessing justice remotely, through our specialist teams, has always been possible. The Covid-19 lockdown simply gave us the opportunity to highlight things like web conferences and phone calls as a viable alternative to travelling into our offices for a meeting.
As we look forward to an easing of lockdown restrictions, and whatever the post-Covid world holds, I do believe we can also look forward to people continuing take advantage of the convenient, time saving and expedient features of web conferences and calls. These (along with new protocols we’ve developed in order, for example, to deliver & retrieve documents for legal signature) will allow people to access our services more easily.
Rather than it being a novelty of lockdown I’m predicting that the sheer convenience (and, in cases of domestic violence, security) of briefing and then working with a lawyer remotely will be a feature of the way we work that many will actively choose to take in the future. Whatever your requirements and however you’d like to deal with us, call us and let us see how we can help.
Whilst you’re considering how you’d like to work with us, and whilst lockdown restrictions still apply, you might find it useful to take a moment to read any of the articles below that might be relevant to you. Each explains how specific services have and are being successfully delivered without the need for you to visit our offices. Or to put it another way, from the comfort of your home … or wherever you happen to be right now. You get the idea.
