The range of services offered by solicitors has grown drastically over the years. As society has changed, so has the role of the solicitor in our lives. A few decades ago, most members of the public never used a solicitor. Nowadays, practically everyone turns to a solicitor at one point or another.
Traditional Services Offered by Solicitors
Amongst the services, practically everyone will use a solicitor for, drawing up a will is quite near the top of the list. There are still people out there that do not bother to do so, but more and more people are waking up to the fact that leaving a will is important.
However, by far the biggest services solicitors offer your average member of the public are property related. People need help with searches and Conveyancing when they buy or sell a property. Many people who rent also use a solicitor to help them draw up or check a lease, or deal with property disputes.
Unfortunately, the other service that the average average person goes to a solicitor for is divorce. Now more people are having pre and post-nuptial agreements drawn up, which has also created a lot of new work for solicitors.
On top of these family related services, many solicitors offer a wide range of services to businesses and the self-employed.
Services Offered By Solicitors for Businesses
The list of solicitor’s services business owners need is endless. They use solicitors to set up their firms, to draw up contracts, to deal with disputes. A good solicitor can help a firm to grow and prosper. Using a solicitor, you can avoid many of the pitfalls that can put you out of business. Getting contracts checked over by a solicitor before you sign them avoids you over-committing and agreeing to things that could damage your firm.
The more services offered by your solicitor the better it is for you. After all, you do not know what direction your life will go in. If you find a solicitor that offers a wide range of services, no matter what happens in your life you will have someone to turn to for legal help.
