Judges’ comment<\/h4>\n

It helps consumers with answers to questions they might have on common legal problems. The website design is in need of attention (it’s too cluttered and repetitive), but the judges applauded the consistent use of simple language.<\/p>\n


\n

Media statement<\/h4>\n

The Legal Beagle team is thrilled to receive the People’s Choice award for Best Plain English Communication.<\/p>\n

Legal Beagle provides easy online legal services to Kiwis in all parts of New Zealand. We are committed to modernising the legal industry in New Zealand and making buying legal services online easy. Our mission is to make the law more accessible, understandable, and affordable for Kiwis.<\/p>\n

We want our clients and readers to find the law interesting, as we do. We write all our website content with a positive, friendly tone and don\u2019t use legal jargon. We believe this helps our clients to better understand the law and make well-informed decisions about their legal matters such as buying or selling a house, setting up a family trust, and making a will.<\/p>\n

We’re proud and encouraged that this award recognises our efforts to cut through the complexity of the law and deliver easy-to-read information to our clients and readers.<\/p>\n

Claudia King<\/strong>
\nManaging Director<\/p>\n
