A U.K. retailer is set to begin offering legal services to customers after being one the first three entities to receive Alternative Business Structure (ABS) licenses, the Solicitors Regulation Authority announced Wednesday.

Joining CLS in being granted ABS licenses are two law firms: Oxford-based John Welch & Stammers and Lawbridge Solicitors of Kent.
