Law firm BLM has launched a subscription-based legal support service, which offers clients an alternative way to buy legal services
The service, BLM Clarity, allows clients to purchase blocks of discounted time to be spent on legal issues, with four subscription packages on offer: light, essential executive and bespoke.
The firm said the service would help make legal support more accessible for businesses with unmet or fluctuating legal needs, and was developed following research findings from the Competition and Markets Authority that 83% of small businesses see legal services as out of their reach.
Steve Kuncewicz, BLM partner, said: ‘Hourly fee-based models are still the most common for law firms, which can often prevent businesses from seeking legal support for fear of the clock running faster than they anticipate or not reaching out for help until the last minute.
‘The events of last year created some pressing legal challenges that businesses are still contending with, but it also underlined the need for flexibility in how we work.’
