personal injury solicitors accident compensation claims lawyers
UK 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, Boundry query or simply make a will.
For many, a solicitor
is with us for property related matters, mortgage loans, leases and legal
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
manyadvertisements 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.
Business Solicitors
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 commercial lease. Or indeed the legal
restrictions of running your business from home.
Before you discuss business loans etc with your bank manager, seek legal
advice from your lawyer, they will adise you on the sources of finance
that are available and their legal implications. Do this before you decide
to mortgage the family home! Whilst on the subject of finances, a solicitor
can advise how to keep taxes to a minimum too.
Solicitors can help keep your leg work to a minimum, before you contact
your insurance broker ask your solicitor if they can expose any risks
relating to premises, employees, assets and visitors. A solicitor will
be able to give you impartial advice on the type of insurance you need,
then you can consult your insurance broker with the right information.
Employment law can be complicated and most disputes arise out of poor
dismissal procedures that don't conform to the statutory requirements.
Poorly drafted employment contracts can get you into trouble, ask a solicitor
to examine yours. What happens if you fall out with your business partner
or fellow shareholders, can you be forced out of the business?
A solicitor can help you make sure that responsibilities and profits
are divided fairly.
