Solicitors and You

Solicitors and law firms often come into our lives at the worse times … or at least it seems that way. A legal document rarely arrives with good news and when we seek legal advice from a law firm it is unlikely to be about our lottery winnings!.

It may be that you seek a ' No Win No Fee' Accident Compensation Claim or need to defend a workplace personal injury claim.

For many, a solicitor is with us for property related matters, mortgage loans, leases and may be insurance problems.

Others will call upon solicitors for trustee and fund management, tax laws and inheritance issues including death duties.

There is for a vast majority, an unfortunate time in our lives when debt and credit become a nightmare, debt collectors, bailiffs and creditors hound us. Thoughts of IVA, Bankruptcy and insolvency loom over us, So many commercials tempt us to either get into more debt by borrowing money to pay off multiple debts thus only paying one (debt consolidation). Solicitors can help with debt and credit problems. Seek advice from a specialist insolvency law practice, possibly one that provides legal and technical advice to professional insolvency practitioners as well as debtors and creditors.

When looking at credit repair advice be mindful that many articles on credit repair suggest using certain tactics relating to CCJ Removal (County Court Judgements). Such credit repair advice may suggest lying to a court in order that a judgement is 'wiped off'. You risk getting yourself into bigger trouble going down this road.
An insolvency solicitor will be able to explain your genuine legal rights as opposed a so-called ' Debt Elimination Loophole' to rid yourself of all debt problems.

No matter whether you are already in business or just starting out, a solicitor will guide you through the maze of common obstacles such as; company structure and whether it is of more benefit to trade as a sole trader or as a limited company. What legal partnerships are and how you legally stand.

It is always worth getting your solicitor to look at and explain all the implications of the terms of your lease. Or indeed the legal restrictions of running your business from home.
