Choose a solicitor

Most legal firms cover the majority of issues that your business might need advice about. All solicitors must hold a practicing certificate issued by the Law Society - unless they are only employed by your business. It's a good idea to make sure your potential solicitor has a certificate, as it guarantees the solicitor is qualified, and has insurance to protect you if anything goes wrong.

 Get a Quote

It's a good idea to ask for quotes from a number of solicitors - just as you would from any other service supplier. Once you've gathered a shortlist of potential solicitors, it's well worth meeting them to make sure they will be suitable for you. Most solicitors offer an initial interview free of charge. But make sure you're meeting the person who will actually be carrying out the work for you. Use this checklist to find out what you should ask your prospective solicitor

Charges

Solicitors usually charge on an hourly rate, but it is possible to agree a fixed spending limit so that you don't go over budget. Once you have worked with a particular solicitor and are happy with the service they have provided, it's often wise to develop a long-term relationship with them. If they learn to understand the needs of your business, they will be more effective.
