The Business Owner's Guide to Choosing & Using a Solicitor

About this book

This book is intended to help you as a business owner to make an informed choice in finding the best solicitor for your particular circumstances. It starts by explaining the services solicitors offer, how to choose a solicitor suited to your needs and the initial stage of first engagement. Next, it looks at how you should work with your chosen solicitor to ensure that you get the best out of the relationship. Then, since so many legal situations end up in litigation in the courts, it considers the key issues here – including alternative dispute resolution, a way of resolving issues without recourse to the courts. And last, just in case, it covers what happens when things go wrong – as, sadly, they sometimes do.
