The establishment professes to be quite happy with Tesco’s new Legal Store which supplies LawPack self-help books and book/CD kits for common legal issues, providing quick Q&A advice and a jargon buster online and referring users on to the Law Society’s Solicitors Online site for further advice. Tesco ‘wants to demystify the law by offering shoppers simple and easy to understand legal products’; Lawpack believes that ‘lawyers will see quite a lot of enquiries from this’ and the Law Society concurs, describing it as ‘an innovative addition to the legal services market [which will] encourage [people] to seek legal advice’. Not so happy, presumably, are the existing online Contract Store and the like. Although Tesco Legal Store documents cannot be downloaded online, at these prices who could resist ordering a quick divorce with the supper.
- Last Will & Testament Kit – £9.99 (plus triple ClubCard points)
- Residential Lettings CD-Rom – £14.99
- DIY Power of Attorney Kit – £9.99
- DIY Separation & Divorce Kit – £7.49 (special offer price)
- DIY Limited Company Kit – £9.99
- 301 Legal Forms CD-Rom – £14.99
A DIY Conveyancing Kit is notably absent and Tesco would not be drawn on its longer-term plans for legal services if the market is liberalised as a result of the Clementi review.
