DEFINITION OF LAW FIRM:

A law firm is a business entity formed by one or more lawyers to engage in the practice of law.

A lawyer is a person licensed by the state to advise clients in legal matters and represent them in courts of law (and in other forms of dispute resolution). Lawyers have many names in different countries—including advocate, attorney, barrister, counsellor, civil law notary and solicitor.

Section 1A of the Solicitors Act 1974 requires any solicitor employed in connection with the provision of legal services in England and Wales to have a practising certificate .

The Law Society is the governing body for solicitors in England and Wales. If you need a lawyer, for a business matter; family issues; employment law or with a special expertise for your particular requirement then The Law Society of England and Wales maintains and regulates the register of around 116.000 solicitors. Each year solicitors advise the Law Society of their specialist areas of law.

The Law Society of Scotland is the governing body for Scottish solicitors. It was established by the Legal Aid & Solicitors (Scotland) Act in 1949. The main aims of the Society are set out in the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980.
