The Law Society asked solicitors last week to share their experience of delivering unbundled services—splitting services into tasks, some carried out by solicitors and the rest completed by clients
It is concerned that offering unbundled services could affect solicitors’ ability to obtain professional indemnity insurance or cause premiums to increase substantially because of the risk of a claim if a client makes an error on one of the unbundled tasks.
Law Society president Nick Emmerson said: ‘We are particularly interested in how they are managing their liability and the extent to which these services are expanding their client base and increasing revenue.’
