Details of when and how the ban will be implemented are unknown. If or when any ban arises MAPS is well placed to adapt to this fundamental change to the legal industry. We have been working on this possibility for the last couple of years and structured our company financially and systematically for any such change in the law. We remain extremely positive and confident for our future and that of our clients and strategic partners.

It’s all very exciting! We have invested over £100,000 in our website over the last few years. The re-write started at the end of 2009 and has taken thousands of hours work to complete. The new site will be hosted on three separate dedicated servers within different clusters to ensure maximum reliability and security. We have used the opportunity to refine complicated processes and add new features which were not previously possible. Thousands of tests have been written to help eliminate bugs when we release new features in the future as part of our commitment to continuous development. The new site will have all the capacity we would ever need as we become more and more successful.
