When does an employee need an Employment Solicitor?
Most employees tend to contact an Employment Solicitor, when their relationship with their employer has gone awry, or their employment has come to an end. Whilst this may seem the most logical time for an employee to contact a Solicitor, employees would often be better served if they approached a Solicitor for advice when matters started to go wrong, rather than when they may have passed a point of no return.
Employees who are proactive and actively seek advice to understand the situation they are in, will be better equipped to properly navigate and try to manage the situation at hand. ‘Grasping the nettle’ at the beginning is ultimately not as painful in the long run.

Buying your first home is such an exciting time but can also be very daunting as you enter the unknown of the conveyancing process. The first thing you will need to do is contact your local Solicitor to get a quotation for the legal fees so that you can plan your budget.

Your mortgage offer should be issued once the valuation is carried out. Any searches and surveys will also need to be applied for in respect of the property you are buying.
Once you’re satisfied all investigations have been completed you will be invited to sign the documentation in respect of the transaction. The completion date is then fixed and you’ll require Buildings Insurance in place for exchange.
On the day of completion monies will be paid over to your Seller’s Solicitor. Once completion has taken place your Solicitor will notify you and you’ll finally receive the keys to your new home.
