?The term ‘solicitor’ is one that encompasses many different roles. One solicitor you may meet could have completely different responsibilities and expertise than another. This article will look at several of the main legal sub-divisions that a solicitor or firm of solicitors could specialise in. It is important to remember that when you are choosing a solicitor, make sure to choose one that has previous experience in your type of legal issue and that is fully qualified to take your case on.
Employment Law
An employment law solicitor can help will any issues regarding your work if you are employed. This can be both the employer and the employee. They will work to ensure that any disagreements or grievances in the workplace are resolved according to the law. It is worth noting that employment law tends to only cover issues where a contract of service or employment is in place and therefore those who are self-employed are not covered by many of the same laws.
In many cases, a solicitor may deem that legal action is not the right way forward with your problem and many employment law issues can be solved through mediation.
If you are thinking of making a claim relating to employment law it is important to remember to make a copy of your contract with your employer or employee for your solicitor to view.
Personal Injury
A personal injury solicitor will work to ensure that you gain compensation for an injury you have sustained that wasn’t your fault and that has impacted you financially and physically in the long term. Many personal injury lawyers offer a no win no fee arrangement which can be very beneficial to both you and the lawyer however, be aware that if you lose your claim you could still end up covering costs incurred by the defendants side.
Probate
Probate is the process of administering a person’s last wishes and financial assets after they have deceased. A probate solicitor can really help to make this stressful time flow much easier. They will help you to gather all the person’s assets together and arrange for the will to be carried out. Administering probate can take a long time depending on many factors but at the end, the solicitor will be able to divide the person’s estate in the right way – avoiding any complications in the future.
Remember, when you are choosing a solicitor, go to one you can trust. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the legal process and don’t sign anything until you fully understand everything they have talked about with you.
