Solicitor Advocate

A Solicitor Advocate is a qualified solicitor who has received special training to represent clients in court proceedings, including hearings and trials. Unlike standard solicitors, who usually handle legal advice and paperwork outside court, solicitor advocates can present cases directly before judges and juries, performing many roles traditionally done by barristers. This allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in legal representation, especially in complex cases. They maintain the expertise of solicitors while having the ability to advocate in court, providing a seamless service for clients needing comprehensive legal support.
