Freelance route to job satisfaction

Article Abstract:

More solicitors work as freelance advocates in 1993, usually in criminal work or specialising in child care, mental health or public order. This is partly because of the recession, but principal solicitors appreciate freelancers' experience. Self-employment gives the freelancer flexibility, freedom and part-time hours if required. It is easier to concentrate on one case at a time. Freelance advocates have a face to face relationship with the principal solicitors and have access to all the files on the case, unlike barristers. They are dedicated magistrate's court advocates.

How to make the superleague

Article Abstract:

The recession has played havoc with the legal profession but the very best are doing well. The comparatively small number of large companies are successful because they have very broad-based practices. One man businesses and high street branches are suffering most. Recalibration, or boosting a firm's fee earning capacity, is a very good way of getting over the problems caused by reduction in business from corporate sources or relating to property. White collar crime and insolvency are also bringing in much work.
