Freelawyer logs onto net honour

A legal advice Web site has been voted best newcomer in a recent review of more than 100 million sites.

Freelawyer.co.uk was named the 'brightest spark' by Internet magazine The Net for being 'an innovative Web site started in the last year with the most potential'.

Freelawyer aims to offer 'easy to understand legal solutions' to the public.

'The hardest thing in law is to turn complex language into lay person's terms,' said former barrister and co-founder of the site, Alex Mehta.

'Yet law is at its most powerful when it is produced simply and that is what we try and achieve,' he continued.The free on-line service, chaired by the ex-managing partner of Eversheds, Peter Thompson, gives the user as much information as possible before giving details of a specialist solicitor who will take things further if the user wishes.LINKS: www.freelawyer.co.ukAndrew Towler
