X-Press Legal Services
When faced with the power of a government you need Franchising on your side.
As a leading national provider of products to the legal profession X-Press Legal Services has to keep a close eye on new legislation. The past 2 years have proven that influencing government and advising their franchise owners of changes is a key part of this established franchisor’s support structure.
From the introduction of the 2007 Home Information Pack Regulations and their subsequent scrapping in 2010 to the impact of a European Directive called the Environmental Information Regulations. X-Press Legal Services franchise owners have stayed one step ahead of the game thanks to the efforts of Operations Director Christian Lister. An influential figure in both Westminster and Brussels, Christian was voted SME lobbyist of the year in 2010 for his work on data access.
“We have ensured that our franchise network has had a substantial commercial advantage over their competitors,” says Mr Lister. “The changes that we have brought about in our industry have seen our franchise owners’ net profits increase dramatically.” Together with helping to improve their businesses X-Press Legal Services as a franchisor has ensured that their network is protected from new legislation. It was this effort which led to the business being recognised as a finalist in the 2010 bfa Franchisor of the year awards in the Best Franchisee Support category.
X-Press Legal Services offers a home office based, white collar consultancy franchise opportunity providing an essential product to the legal profession. Established in 2000 the business is a Full Member of the bfa and has 42 franchised offices across the country. The product that the franchise owners provide is required by law and as the service is provided to solicitors the franchisee does not require any legal experience at all.
