ABS Conference Highlights
On Monday 27 June 2011, we hosted an Alternative Business Structures conference to outline the exciting and potentially lucrative opportunities opening up under the Legal Services Act.
Over 100 brokers joined Eddie Goldsmith and a host of guest speakers to start to understand how they could offer their own legal services and get a slice of the multi-million pound legal industry.
The keynote speaker on the day was Professor Stephen Mayson, Director of the Legal Services Institute who talked about The Benefits of ABS. Highlights of his presentation are available to watch on the video below.
