Why does this surprise anyone? Surely its no different to Tesco driving the corner shop out of business. And don't say it's because solicitors are professionals because it's only solicitors who think that . To the public, we're just another service industry. And as (a) most of the public shop on price rather than quality and (b) most high street solicitors can't match the advertising of the insurers (and the other big consumer focussed businesses that will follow them) so the public can compare, the outcome is inevitable. And like small shops, only 'boutique' practices, that offer something the 'big boys' can't or don't want to supply, have a real future. That is, unless and until the LVs of this world cock up badly or the media decides to show that what you see ain't necessarily what you get from them. Until then, the public are likely to vote with their feet.
