10 Services Provided by Solicitors Most people will only ever use a solicitor when they move house, and so might not be aware of some of the services offered by solicitors these days. If you don't have a lot of dealings with legal professionals, then here's a guide to some of the services you might find at your local firm of solicitors.
1. The modern family situation is rarely straightforward, and there are often stepchildren or step parents, or children whose parents have separated and who might live with one parent and spend time with the other. Family solicitors can make life easier for all concerned, and ensure that if you want access to your children or grandchildren, then you get all the legal advice you need. 2. If you're involved in a violent or abusive relationship, then you might need legal advice and help finding somewhere safe to stay. A family solicitor can give you all the information you need, and in complete confidence so that you can leave, and start to rebuild your life. 3. If you're anxious about what will happen to your assets after you die, then you'll want to make sure that you have written a will. Getting it written and verified by a qualified and experienced solicitor will help to put your mind at ease. 4. Perhaps you want help to minimise the amount of inheritance tax that your loved ones will pay when you die. Tax solicitors can help you make the most of your assets and help you to make sure that your money doesn't go to the government rather than your family. 5. Perhaps you're considering moving house, and want to know more about the surveys, or the other services provided by property solicitors. 6. You might be an employer, and have to make sure that your staff contracts and documentation is legal. An employment solicitor will also be able to help ensure that you have the relevant policies and procedures in place in your company. 7. You might need help with corporate law issues. Perhaps you want to buy out a company, have an issue with another company stealing your ideas, or need help with pensions. 8. If you're thinking of starting a new business, then you'll want to make sure that you can legally start to charge, and have the right contracts in place, and that you have the right sort of insurance, and everything else you need. 9. You might not have ever given education law much thought, but employment law, contracts and other areas still apply, and so if you've involved in the education sector, then you'll want to make sure
that the contracts you sign with suppliers or maintenance companies are legal, and that any staff you recruit are suitable. 10. The construction sector involves many other industries, and there are often likely to be several companies involved with a construction project. You might need legal help with investment, dispute resolution, audits, risk assessment or procurement. Experienced construction lawyers will be able to provide the advice you need.
