The Law Society of England and Wales has selected Tata Consultancy Services to work on a system development project that would provide effective online services. “Following the successful launch of our flagship Legal Management Solution (LMS), we are committed to helping the UK legal services sector during this defining period and strengthening our capabilities as a preferred technology partner to this industry.” said Mr A.S. Lakshminarayanan, Vice-President and Head of TCS Europe.
However, financial details pertaining to the deal were not disclosed. In the UK in particular, the legal services industry is forecast to undergo material change as the Legal Services Act (LSA) 2007 comes into implementation in 2011. This act is aimed at liberalising the legal services market and bringing the entire market under one regulatory framework by creating ‘alternative business structures' – which will allow non-lawyers in management and ownership roles.
