First law firm owned entirely by nonlawyers opens in Utah

The ABA Jnl writes..

Law on Call—touted as the first entirely nonlawyer owned law firm in the United States—is open for business in Utah.

Law on Call is operating as a result of legal reforms approved by the Utah Supreme Court in August 2020, according to a March 15 press release.

The two-year pilot project allows law firms with nonlawyer owners and nontraditional legal service providers to operate in a “regulatory sandbox” in the state.

Law.com and Reuters Legal have coverage.

Law on Call’s clients pay $9 per month to get unlimited phone access to lawyers who can offer advice in the areas of business law, end-of-life planning, contracts, employment, housing and real estate. If legal work is needed, the discounted rates start at $100 per hour.
