Access Legal Named Best Provider of Home Purchase and Sale Conveyancing Services

NORTHAMPTON, England, March 23, 2011 - Access Legal, the law firm from Shoosmiths, has been named best provider
of home purchase and sale conveyancing services by the Conveyancing Alliance.

The national law firm came top in a survey conducted by the Conveyancing
Alliance (www.access-legal.co.uk/services/conveyancing-51.htm) which
was voted for by estate agents. Users of the Conveyancing Alliance portal
ranked law firms on several service standards including communication levels,
speed of delivery and client feedback.

Client feedback was a key area for Access Legal, as it is very customer
focused and aims to treat people as individuals rather than just another
case.

Karen Stewart, partner at Access Legal, commented: "Only once they've
been carefully vetted can law firms join the panel to receive work from
Conveyancing Alliance, so we've already gone a long way to proving ourselves.
To then be acclaimed best service provider by estate agents backs to the hilt
what we say about only providing the very best levels of service."

Conveyancing Alliance surveyed all its users, who are all mortgage
advisors and estate agents, on the service levels received from the 11 law
firms on its panel. Users of the Conveyancing Alliance portal then ranked law
firms on service standards, which lead to Access Legal being awarded the top
spot on the survey by estate agents in England and Wales.
