To carry out independent activities in the provision of legal services, it is necessary to have a higher specialized education, two-year professional practice and the status of a lawyer, which allows you to create any of the existing types of legal organizations, including opening a lawyer's office.
Instructions
Step 1
A notice of the establishment of a lawyer's office is sent to the council of the Bar Chamber, which indicates information about the lawyer, the location of the office, the procedure for communication between him and the council. It should be noted that this type of organization is not a legal entity, but a lawyer receives the status of an entrepreneur without forming a legal entity. He is also required to open a bank account and have a seal.
Step 2
In most cases, a lawyer provides services in several areas at once, for example, assistance in resolving housing disputes, conducting divorce proceedings, registration of rights to real estate and inheritance, representing the client's interests in court, etc. However, a lawyer's office can also specialize in a narrow legal segment. Interaction with clients is carried out on the basis of a civil law contract for the provision of services, where, among other things, their cost is negotiated. The size of the client base is directly determined by the professional reputation of a lawyer.
Step 3
The law allows you to place an office in residential premises, for example, in your own apartment, but subject to the consent of the lawyer's family members. This opportunity allows you to significantly reduce the cost of maintaining a lawyer's office, but your own office looks more solid and causes more confidence from clients. You will need a small space, sufficient for equipping a workplace and space for comfortable communication with visitors. It is advisable to provide a reception room, since legal activities involve confidentiality. Take care of attractive interiors and a solid but discreet sign on the lawyer's office door.
