FAQs
- Why do I need a specialist solicitor?
Every legal document you enter into as a primary care professional, either on your own behalf or on behalf of your practice or partnership, needs to be prepared by a solicitor who has considered the NHS Regulations as well as the law itself. Most high street solicitors will not be familiar with your regulatory environment and so ‘don’t know what they don’t know’. Also, make sure that you always use a regulated solicitor: look for a website link to the SRA to check that a ‘law firm’ is properly regulated. Only solicitors are able to fully protect your confidential information through ‘legal privilege’.
- What will it cost me?
We are very upfront about fees. We don’t claim to be the cheapest, but neither do we charge you a premium for the specialist service we provide. We offer fixed fees where we can, and otherwise provide a realistic estimate of anticipated fees at the outset.
