Why engage a Specialist Consultant Solicitor? Elephant in the Room?

Here is my elephant in the room, as some might have it. I am a specialist consultant solicitor, practising on my own and focused upon business and employment law, not a “full service”. This is an opportunity for potential clients, not a disincentive. Here are five illustrations. 

2. “You can’t put a team of lawyers onto a multi-million pound transaction or dispute.” I agree. But I can offer you a more personalised service involving senior level experience at a reasonable cost. In a business and employment law setting, this may be just what you need. 

 

3. “You don’t have a high profile.” A fair point. But what counts as a high profile – winning awards within closed professional circles, for instance, and using this as an excuse to charge more? As a potential client, that’s not likely to be what you want. 

 

4. “You’re not in a city centre commercial location, where the big firms are.” You can say that again. I walk downstairs to my home study and I am all set to answer emails, draft paperwork and engage in online video calls. I have no office politics or major administrative burdens to distract me. The daily commute is a thing of the past. I can bring more focus to your needs as part of my better quality of working life. And I can still come to you if this is necessary or sensible.  

 

5. “You’re not likely to be more useful than my helpline subscription service.” Politely but firmly, I beg to differ. Sometimes you need more than basic, unimaginative and inexperienced call centre advice from low level staff, whose big organisations have an underlying interest in limiting their engagement with you after they have taken your payments and tied you in. 

 

That’s how I choose to confront the elephant. Big may be Beautiful, but Small may be Sensible. If you think I can help you in a sensible manner, feel free to contact me on 07450 350715 or via david@wolverhamptonemploymentlaw.co.uk .
