Advice
Choosing a solicitor in Scotland
A few checks before you instruct a firm can save time, money and stress.
-
Match the solicitor to your issue
Scots law differs from English law in many areas. Look for a firm with a dedicated team for your type of matter in Scotland.
-
Check they are on the register
Every practising solicitor in Scotland must hold a practising certificate from the Law Society of Scotland. You can check using its Find a Solicitor service.
-
Ask about accreditation and experience
Law Society of Scotland accredited specialists have shown expertise in a defined area of law. Ask who will handle your case day to day.
-
Get costs and terms in writing
Solicitors should explain their fees or give an estimate at the start. Ask whether legal aid, a fixed fee or another funding option could apply.
