HOW TO CHOOSE A SOLICITOR

Whether we want to or not, the vast majority of us will have to employ a solicitor at some point during our lives.

Many momentous occasions require the services of a solicitor and we are often on hand to witness the range of emotions these life-changing events evoke. We can share the joy and pride associated with buying a new house and offer a sympathetic ear during the termination of an unhappy marriage or death of a loved one.

So what should you look for in a good solicitor? There are many law firms in Sheffield and North Derbyshire to choose from, ranging from sole practitioners to huge practices employing many thousands of people. But which would suit you best?

We believe that there are four key elements to choosing a solicitor – location, convenience, reputation and expertise and at Taylor&Emmet, we offer the full package.

Our high street branches in Dronfield and Ecclesall Road make us accessible to the public, whilst the expertise and resources at our disposal enable us to provide a wide range of legal services to personal and corporate clients from our base in Sheffield city centre. 

Taylor&Emmet has a long history in Sheffield, boasting a pedigree of more than 100 years and we expect to be around for many decades to come! Despite the firm’s growth, we maintain our local roots by offering several free afternoon and evening surgeries at our satellite branches, covering various topics, from employment law to personal injury. Our friendly and approachable solicitors are also happy to meet you at an office of your choice.

We aim to make our legal services as convenient as possible, by working closely with you to understand your requirements and tailor our support to your specific circumstances. We know that no two matters are ever the same and all of our staff, from receptionists to the most senior solicitors, have just one aim – to ensure you receive the best possible advice at a competitive price. 

The vast majority of our clients come to us on the recommendation of a friend, family member or colleague, not as the result of any clever marketing campaigns. We are extremely proud that existing and previous clients are so satisfied with the quality of service they receive that they are willing to pass on our details. If you don’t know anyone who has used Taylor&Emmet, simply visit our website to see what clients have to say about us!

We have solicitors specialising in a wide range of disciplines and whether you are a businessman seeking specific corporate advice or a private client looking for legal assistance, we have the expertise and depth of knowledge to help.

Taylor&Emmet specialises in residential property, family law, wills and probate, personal injury, employment law, commercial property, corporate litigation and business finance. For further information telephone (0114) 218 4000 or visit www.tayloremmet.co.uk
