Who would you turn to if Change Colours


You and your partner have decided to tie the knot and want to know the legal implications of entering into a Civil Partnership?
   
You want to know whether you have a claim after being involved in a car accident or an accident at work?
   
You are purchasing a property and need a solicitor to do the conveyancing and to advise you of the rights of your cohabiting boyfriend / girlfriend?
   
You need tax planning advice (in particular, Inheritance Tax)
   
You are starting a family and need advice regarding your adoption application or you require a Sperm Donor Agreement or Surrogacy Agreement?
   
You may have been discriminated against at work or at a job interview on the basis of your sexuality?

These are just some of the areas where, if you join PURPLE / Pink, you can ring a specialist lawyer who will be happy to answer your enquiry free of charge

 

 

 

 

What is Blue?

Most people have their own doctor or dentist. They often even have a trusted garage they take their car to. Most people, however, do not have their own solicitor who they turn to whenever a legal problem arises, particularly if they are uncomfortable talking about their lifestyle.

The result is that members of the gay community may not take legal advice when they ought to, and when you do need legal help (for example when you want to buy a house or make a will) you may go to someone who is unknown to you, who might not even be a solicitor, or who will deal with that particular enquiry in isolation without appreciating the potential legal implications of being in a same sex relationship or Civil Partnership, and without looking after your affairs in a wider sense.

PURPLE / Pink changes all that, and gives you (and your partner) a free-of-charge, no worry, modern and gay-friendly legal port of call provided by one of the region’s largest law firms that you can turn to whenever you need legal help.

The scheme is mobile-phone and internet based, as well as being accessible of course from your home or office phones.

At last - you can now speak direct to a specialist solicitor in a matter of minutes, without fear of judgement or that you will get a bill.

You can now add a solicitor (or, actually, a whole team of lawyers) to the list of people that support you and your lifestyle.

PURPLE / Pink is a scheme that you join. It is completely free to join. You can leave the scheme whenever you want, without giving any notice or paying any money.

As soon as you join PURPLE / Pink, you benefit in the following ways –

You can call a free telephone helpline to your legal team to get answers to your legal enquiries - you will not get a bill.
   
A quick and free legal audit so you can see where you might better protect yourself, your assets, and your finances.
   
A series of “What are your rights if…?” bulletins that will both enlighten you and prove useful if you find yourself in a range of situations.

All in all, we believe PURPLE / Pink is the type of resource that every member of the gay community should have at their fingertips.
