Choose and manage a solicitor

Find a solicitor

There are a number of ways you can find the right solicitor for your business.

The Law Society, the professional body for solicitors, offers the Lawyers For Your Business scheme which can put you in touch with solicitors in your area or with a particular specialisation who will give you a free initial consultation. Read about the Lawyers For Your Business scheme on the Law Society website - Opens in a new window.

Your local Business Link will have details of local solicitors. Find your local Business Link using our Contacts Directory.

It's a good idea to ask other businesses of a similar size to yours or other business associates if they can recommend a particular solicitor or firm.

If you belong to a trade or professional association they may be able to put you in touch with solicitors who are used to dealing with issues in your type of business. Find your trade association on the Trade Association Forum (TAF) website - Opens in a new window.
