Joseph Frasier Solicitors is set to become the first law firm in the UK to provide a dedicated service for deaf and hard of hearing (HOH) people

It has partnered up with national charities, organisations and other legal firms to offer legal services tailored for clients with hearing difficulties, and will launch a website next week that uses video-sharing site SignTube, which helps deaf people communicate. Its fee earners will learn sign language and the firm will use technology such as webcams, text relay, MSN, text, Skype and Twitter to communicate with clients.
