The Problem
Common challenges Solicitors face when starting own law firms
Before we offer tailored solutions, we will delve into common pitfalls solicitors encounter when starting-up on their own.
Obtaining a Professional Indemnity Insurance Quote
Securing approval from the SRA is just one of the challenges that solicitors face when establishing their own legal practice. A significant hurdle they must overcome is effectively putting together essential documents to meet the requirements of PI insurers who determine the premiums and whether to provide coverage.
Getting SRA-Approved
Solicitors who were investigated or held managerial or other similar significant positions within firms that were investigated usually face additional scrutiny from the SRA. Without appropriate help, they may face challenges with obtaining an approval.
Law Firm Compliance
Putting their own client care letters, complaints procedures, office manuals, and other significant documents can be an overwhelming task that needs to be done before any work is undertaken. Non-compliance with the SRA rules can also result in hefty fines.
Choosing the right software
Choosing the legal software to manage clients, their enquiries and cases can be challenging for new firms who have just spent thousands of pounds on obtaining approval and PII.
Generating New Clients
Law firms that don’t already have their own solid customer base or have a limited referral network, tend to struggle with obtaining new clients at the beginning.
Building Online Presence
Starting a new law firm from scratch is generally considered an expensive task. When money is tight, investments need to be well thought out, otherwise, they can lead to poor ROI.
