Solicitors advise clients and draft pleadings/documents, but engage advocates for conducting the case in the court. Lawyers who want to be solicitors should pass an examination. In India. A two-year practice is also required before an Indian lawyer can qualify as a solicitor.
A solicitor can cover large clientele unlike the advocate, Mostly solicitors work on retainer basis for large companies for a handsome remuneration. Commercial clients call in solicitors for advice on matters including litigation, property, tax and finance. Private client work usually involves personal legal matters such as wills, property conveyancing, divorce and custody. Solicitors' firms come in all shapes and sizes so it's important to do your research first and find out which one would suit you. Solicitors need a wide range of skills. As well as being able to communicate with clients and develop good working relationships with them, they need to be able to work closely with colleagues, pay close attention to detail and be willing to work long hours. They also need initiative and good judgment to work with complex information.
