An Introduction to the UK’s Alternative Business Structure from Eddie Hartman (Paul Brest Hall) The U.K. Legal Services Act of 2007 allows nonlawyers to hold ownership and management positions in law firms and allows for the creation of multidisciplinary practices. As of 2012, the U.K. rule provides for a new kind of legal company, referred to as an alternative business structure (ABS). Eddie Hartman explains how LegalZoom created an ABS and how the structure allows for significant advancements in legal technology and the delivery of legal services.
