UK law firm offers online consultation to Indians

Net Lawman's portal www.netlawman.co.in not only brings the concept of online legal services to India, but seeks to make the process cheaper than visiting a solicitor's office.

Another service that clients can avail of is legal clarifications at Rs. 500 per question, Net Lawman said in a release.

"Services are required when one buys a house, sets up a business, acquires an office, incorporates a company, intends to marry or divorce in India.... the lay person often finds it a difficult task to engage a lawyer," the firm said.

Observing that the Indian legal system has gradually become expensive due to prolonged litigations and tiresome process, the company said it would provide simplified and actionable solutions without having litigants to travel and incur unnecessary expense.

"Our intention is to facilitate the process of investing, doing business or safeguarding property in India through provision of suitable legal services or engaging a lawyer online," the statement said.

The portal would also provide court representation service, in which its team would assist the litigants in queries regarding law and facts and would try to simplify it.
