In March 2012, Co-op Legal Services became one of the first three organisations and the first major consumer brand to receive approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority to become an "alternative business structure", allowing it to offer a range of legal services which were previously only allowed to be offered by solicitor's firms.
In May 2012, Co-op Legal Services announced plans to establish five regional hubs across England, and to hire 3,000 additional staff over the following five years.
In September 2012, Co-op Legal Services launched a family law service offering fixed fees for services including child protection, divorce, financial issues and mediation.
