For information regarding barristers and solicitors look under this Yellow™ heading. Barristers and solicitors are law professionals who give legal advice to clients. They interact with the client and speak on his or her behalf in court. They can be consulted in the different areas of the law and they offer advice on practically any legal matter. They can help clients with family law issues, personal injury, insurance law, worker’s compensation, and vehicular accidents. They can also help on leasing agreements, trust arrangements, business acquisition, defamation, taxes and capital gains, wills and estates, and copyright and intellectual property, among others.
Barristers and solicitors are part of a company of legal partners who work on different areas of the law. They help their clients understand laws and government rules, criminal law, marine law, debt collection, and general litigation. Barristers and solicitors within a firm have specialised roles, enabling them to focus more on certain areas of the law.
An example of their work is commercial litigation which is about protecting a client’s rights and reputation in the event that problems surface in business transactions. They provide advice and representation in court proceedings and other methods of dispute resolution such as commercial arbitration, mediation, and expert determination. Under commercial litigation, barristers and solicitors can work on cases in banking and finance, building and construction, corporate disputes, estate planning, trust and estate litigation, insurance, intellectual property, and trade practices. In family law, barristers and solicitors seek to bring each case to the best conclusion and agreement between two parties. Since separation, divorce, and custody battles are difficult situations to go through, they help their clients reach the most amicable solution – more often than not a settlement rather than to go to court. They also give advice on division of property and child support.
