Big brands set to roll out 24-hour legal advice service for £60 a year
CPP: relationships with dozens of big brands
A host of major businesses are being lined up to offer a new service providing consumers with help to handle a wide range of legal matters for an annual subscription of £59.99, we can reveal.
CPP is a leading provider of what it calls ‘life assistance’ services such as credit card protection and mobile phone insurance and recently launched ‘Your Law’, working with national law firm Irwin Mitchell and legal document company Lawpack.
