Welsh firm Hugh James, Midlands outfit Nelsons and northwest practice Pannone have signed up to become part of online network MyLawyer, in the latest move designed to take advantage of opportunities created by the Legal Services Act.

The MyLawyer internet service will be launched later this year by IT company Epoq, allowing member firms to offer clients bespoke documentation and a range of transactional services via the internet portal mylawyer.co.uk.
