A new bespoke service to allow other law firms and professionals to tap into its niche legal offerings has been launched by Buckles Solicitors.
BUCKLESconnect offers a free support network providing access to legal expertise in specialist areas that some law firms may be unable to offer their clients themselves.
This referral network operates on a membership basis where independent firms can refer cases for their clients to BUCKLESconnect, without fear of losing them to a competitor.
Heading up this exciting new service – which will operate in Buckles’ offices in Peterborough, Nottingham and Stamford – is Buckles Partner Duncan Jackson.
He explained: “It may be that the referring firm cannot deal with the matter because there is a conflict, or it falls outside of normal areas of expertise.
“In those instances, BUCKLESconnect will provide expert advice along with the same first-class, professional service we provide all of our clients.
“This may be a client who needs legal advice about a property they have in France or Spain – as we have in-house lawyers fluent in both languages here at Buckles – or perhaps a contentious probate issue, offering specialist advice on the options to challenge a Will.”
Duncan added: “Of course, we respect the relationship the other law firm will have with a client and have robust systems in place to ensure that we will not contact them directly or indirectly.”
Membership to BUCKLESconnect is free of charge and provides access to a variety of additional member benefits, including free or discounted training opportunities.
