HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR LAWYER

A GUIDE TO ENGAGING THE SERVICES OF LEGAL PROFESSIONALS

Going to court can be a stressful experience. The legal world can appear mysterious to those on the outside. Solicitors and barristers are our guides to the legal system, but how do we know if we are getting the best service available?

Written by a former legal practitioner, How to Get the Best Out of Your Lawyer will:

• Explain how the legal process works
• Guide you in choosing a suitable solicitor
• Outline alternative dispute resolution mechanisms
• Explain the role of the barrister
• Outline what steps to take if your relationship with your lawyer breaks down

Concise and to-the-point, this book is an essential guide for all business owners and consumers.
