LOL @ how many LegalZoom employees/PR agents are coming on anonymously here to spin this 'news'.
So some online-document company no-one in the UK has heard of has bought a conveyancing factory that non-one has heard of?
And this is revolutionary how exactly?
Obviously such equity-backed ventures will be looking for areas that can be commoditised (generally non-bespoke volume work suitable for churning out by paralegals and a computer system) as trying to buy into higher level bespoke legal work leaves you as an investor at the mercy of the know-how moving on and taking the business with them.
So Slater and Gordon buy up the PI factories and now this lot have bought up a conveyancing factory.
If you want a serious long-term legal career you shouldn't be involved in low fee repetitive volume work anyway - it's not likely to be financially or professionally rewarding and is too vulnerable to being commoditised. Surely any thinking lawyer got that message several years ago?
