Expertise and Experience are key

You need to be sure that you can trust your solicitor's judgement and rely on the advice that they give you.

Look beyond legal knowledge

Commercial awareness can be just as important as knowledge of the law. Different factors can determine the results of cases, so make sure you know that your solicitor is experienced in this area.

How much will it cost?

Most solicitors charge on a time basis, so check their hourly rates. Some solicitors may also be able to offer other funding options. Discuss this when you first meet and make sure you benefit from the best option.

Choose someone you can work with

A good solicitor will need to work closely with you in order to get the best result for you, so it's important that you get on! Also, make sure it's easy to contact your solicitor when you need to.
