Local specialist technology law firm Michalsons Attorneys has recently launched its online venture – Michalsons Online* (www.michalsons.com). The site is providing automated legal services and online legal guidance to local companies for a monthly fee, and a small one at that.

Says founder and partner Lance Michalson: “The way law is currently offered, on a one on one basis, at hourly rates, is expensive for a lot of people. Coupled to that is the amount of information now available online. People think that if it’s online they can either do it themselves or do it up to a point, then get lawyers involved.
