Trusted legal advice focused on personal service and direct communication

After qualifying as a solicitor and practising for a number of years, I decided to set up as a Freelance Solicitor, as it gives me the flexibility to work in the best way suited to myself, my business, and most importantly, my clients’ individual requirements.
It also allows me to provide a high-quality service without passing on the large overhead costs associated with traditional law firms. My clients have the comfort of knowing that I will be dealing with their matter from start to finish, and they will always be able to contact me directly.
I break away from the structure where clients have to constantly ring reception and leave messages for someone to get back to them, or liaise with a number of secretaries, paralegals, and solicitors to get updates about their matter.
On 25 November 2019, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) introduced new regulations to allow solicitors to work and offer services to the public in different ways outside of the traditional legal firm setting.
The change now allows qualified, experienced solicitors to operate as sole traders rather than being employed by a law firm or operating as a sole practice.
All Solicitors continue to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and are bound by the SRA principles.
As a Freelance Solicitor carrying out non-reserved and reserved legal services,
I am required to obtain adequate and appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance.
My liability limit is £500,000. I am not required to meet the SRA’s minimum terms and conditions with regard to Professional Indemnity Insurance. You may be barred from making claims against the Compensation Fund if there is a problem with your legal matter.
Please note that the SRA maintains a compensation fund for client protection in specific situations.
