First UK Virtual Law Firm
Saw this press release about a UK law firm that is supposed to be the first one in Second Life, I say supposed because I don’t know that for sure, haven’t checked it myself.
Legality Solicitors (http://www.legality.biz), the UK’s first virtual law firm, has recently provided advice to BJL Group Limited, the largest independent advertising agency outside London, on the legal issues surrounding the creation of ‘Mancunia’, based on a famous part of Manchester, in Second Life.
Mancunia (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mancunia/128/128/0), which launched earlier this week, replicates the Deansgate area of Manchester centered around the mile-long road running through the city centre. The BJL office in Mancunia provides a creative thinking space where individuals can share their innovative ideas.
Mr. Roberts adds: “At present, very few law firms have true experience in Second Life and similar media. Clients may find it difficult to source a suitable lawyer, and could end up paying for their chosen solicitor to climb a steep learning curve – before the real work even gets started. Legality has the existing knowledge and expertise. We speak our clients’ language and operate at the cutting edge of digital technology.” Source: Legality Virtual Law Firm Advises Businesses about their ‘Second Life’ and Helps with the Creation of ‘Mancunia’

Just a quick note to correct your post. In the press release Legality states that it is the UK’s first virtual law firm - but this is in real life. We were established in 2002.
The reference to Second Life in the press release relates to advice we provided on the creation of Mancunia in Second Life. We will have a law office there very shortly, but please note that Legality does not claim to be the first virtual law firm in SL.
