Automobile Association joins up with Lyons Davidson solicitors to drive change
Motoring organisation, the AA has joined with Lyons Davidson solicitors to set up an alternative business structure (ABS).
The new practice, AA Law, was granted its ABS licence this week and is due to start trading on 1 December 2013. It will initially handle personal injury and other litigation associated with car accidents suffered by AA members and customers - reducing its reliance on its panel of law firms. Employment and contract services are likely to be added at a later stage, followed by conveyancing and wills.
Janet Pell, head of AA Law, said: “This is a goal we have been working towards ever since ABS was announced.
“It is a natural fit for the AA, its legal helpline and its motor legal expenses policy, which is already supported by Lyons Davidson. It’s also a logical extension of the legal documents we already host on the AA’s website.”
