Access Legal from Shoosmiths is to help the 50,000-strong
Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) become the UK's leading consumer
organisation for bikers, as the consumer legal services provider
announces it has teamed-up with MAG to offer free legal advice to its
members.
Comprising volunteers, MAG lobbies to protect motorcycling from legislation it
believes threatens riders' pleasure; while its charitable arm - The MAG Foundation
- promotes motorcycling through research, representation and collaboration.
Access legal from Shoosmiths is providing a
dedicated 24/7 legal helpline to MAG members, their friends and family, offering
free legal advice on a range of issues, including road traffic accidents.
Then, for every personal injury instruction received via MAG, Access Legal from
Shoosmiths will donate £100 to the Foundation, while £50 will be donated for
conveyancing instructions, £25 for motor defence, and £15 for wills.
Partner and head of consumer services at Access Legal, Judith Dorkins said: "Not
only are we boosting funds for a worthwhile cause, we're also helping MAG members
pursue their rights, have easy access to justice, understand the legal process, and
make informed decisions.
"It's great example of our commitment to investing in the community."
MAG general secretary Nich Brown said: "MAG members know their right to ride is one
of the most important things in life. Every day we're asked for advice on how to
fight injustices by riders who've had a raw deal. This partnership means our
members can quickly find expert legal advice of all kinds whenever they need it."
