How do you choose your finance lawyer?

Posted by ilija sekulov on February 19th, 2019

Personal relationship
In some cases, the procedure can be quite lengthy (months or years). It should, therefore, be very careful when choosing your lawyer. Indeed, you will often have to deal with him. It is, therefore, necessary to have a relationship of trust with him. You have to be wary of a lawyer recommended by a friend because a finance lawyer can't suit everyone. It is interesting to meet different lawyers to find out who you feel most comfortable with. It must be transparent with you both in terms of fees and chances of success on your file. Finally, it is important that your lawyer knows how to explain in a precise and concrete way the ins and outs. Don't be afraid to ask several questions at your first meeting to judge the lawyer's ability to explain things.

Professional competence
Depending on the type of case you intend to entrust to a lawyer, your choice will not be the same:

For a tenant/landlord dispute, a divorce, a classic offence does not require any specific expertise and a general practitioner will be able to assist and advise you without any problem.
For tax law, international law, intellectual property law requires special skills and a specialist lawyer seems necessary. In fact, this one will know legal subtleties that can be of great help in your file.
Fees do not determine the competence of a finance lawyer so you must be very careful. A junior lawyer has to make room for himself and create his own clientele. He will, therefore, have to give the best of himself and will offer quality services.

Here is a list of the different specialties :

-lawyers specializing in economic law
- environmental lawyers
- tax lawyers
- real estate lawyers
- enforcement lawyers
- criminal lawyers
- intellectual property lawyers
- public law lawyers
- finance lawyer

Lawyers specializing in international relations law etc. Some have an Honours degree. Others have obtained a certificate in a specific field.

Key issues:
Here is a short list of questions you should ask when meeting a lawyer:

- have you ever dealt with a case like mine?
- what will your strategy be?
- the length of the proceedings?
- what can I expect as a result?
- the cost of support?
- do you practice result-based pay?
- will you be my only contact?

Although most practice any legal subject, lawyers, in the course of their experience, refine their skills in one or more specific areas of activity.
Some of them have their skills in one or more disciplines certified by a specialization mention. This is called specialized lawyers.

You can also make an appointment, ask questions or request an online consultation with a lawyer on the official legal consultation platform. You will refine your research according to its field of activity, its geographical area and its fees.

Free hotlines and consultations


As part of their mission to facilitate access to the law, many bar associations also provide permanent representation in courthouses, town halls or houses of justice and law. You can meet with lawyers during consultations organized as part of partnerships between Bar Associations and non-profit organizations or associations.
