UK Law Advice Available Via Touch Screen Kiosks

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin in Commercial law

Britons can get expert law advice in the UK for the very first time with some self-service touch screen kiosks. The technology has been rolled out in a shopping centre in Cambridgeshire and it allows shoppers to pay a fixed fee and receive professional legal aid.

The Queensgate shopping centre in Peterborough has deployed two Skype-style video conferencing kiosks which enable Brits to speak to specialist solicitors via the electronic interface. The firm Instant Law UK is behind the installation and a range of practice areas are available. Shoppers can pop into the mall and enquire about legal subject matters like employment, personal injury, immigration and family law.

The pilot scheme is said to have been a huge success as an affordable alternative in light of looming legal aid cuts. It is reported that a further 120 law kiosks may be deployed across the UK in the future. Anyone who wants to use the touch screen technology merely follows the instructions on screen, makes payment and the calls take on average 15-20 minutes.

Mike Poore, head of IT communications at Instant Law UK, said: “This is a unique opportunity for technology and a traditional market to come together, to truly open access and deliver a quality customer experience.”

If however you are not very tech-savvy and you want to speak to a human face-to-face for the personal touch, simply check out an online solicitor director for essential information and guidance.
