Legal gift vouchers

Law firm creates unusual Christmas gift

Stuck for what to buy your loved ones for Christmas? Forget socks, and buy them some legal “gift vouchers”.

Paul Crowley & Co came up with the enterprising idea after a client asked if there was any way she could make a financial contribution to the cost of her daughter’s divorce. They can be bought for as little as £50 and are proving popular gifts for young people buying their first home, who can spend them on conveyancing.
