Solicitors

Solicitors often face the challenge of having to combine heavy work schedules, Law Society regulations, and the effective and profitable day to day running of their practices. The challenge is often greater for small practices where the employment of specialised personnel to manage these aspects is simply not feasible.

We have considerable experience in acting for solicitors and understand their special requirements - especially the need for real-time, proactive advice on how to maintain and improve their position.

We can help solicitors by providing general business advice on how to improve their profitability and practice management and where appropriate the benefits of incorporation.

With our dedicated team of staff, we can also provide advice on the day to day accounting and procedural requirements of holding client monies as governed by the Law Society Solicitor Accounts Rules.

Whether you are a sole trader or a multi partner practice, our team of professionals is here to help you achieve your business objectives and regulatory requirements.
