Stobarts launch legal service
The Law Gazette report that the logistics company known for its distinctive Eddie Stobart lorries has launched a legal service to help the public cut the cost of legal disputes by linking clients directly with barristers without the need for a solicitor.
Stobart Barristers, part of the Stobart Group, says it has a panel of over 1,000 barristers, juniors and QCs, across the UK offering businesses and individuals help in all areas of law. It provides a fixed-fee service, through a ‘pay-as-you-go’ model during the litigation process, giving the client control of the process and enabling them to end it after each stage.
Stobart offers pay-as-you-go barristers - but no plans to be ABS
There’s a joke in there somewhere.
Articulated barristers?
I’m having no truck with it.
You lot are driving me up the wall.
I hear that Ian Lawrie QC is also a past master at driving a coach and horses through the relevant regulations and is in the vanguard of the movement for reform of the law on busking.
What a load of rubbish puns.
What’s rubbish bins got to do with it?
I’m glad I was out of the office on Friday or I would have been tempted to suggest that the lorry firm would be better off going straight to the Cab.
Sorry John!
Assuming none of you are from a haulage/delivery background and therefore missed the vital word **Load**
Obviously my pun was heavily disguised. Either that is it was Tarpaulin.
Should have multi-dropped a few hints enroute
Was it a puntechnican?
This is driving me round the bend.
