There is a large variety of law firms Liverpool can be proud of, and
this does not just refer to small or large firms but those dealing with
every area of the law.

International firms

International firms have a global presence. They will have offices all
over the world usually in a capital city. They could have a handful of
overseas offices, or dozens – there are differing sizes of international
firm. They will usually deal with large legal matters only which
require a team of specialists and will rarely provide services to
individuals. International firms usually deal in the following legal
areas:

National firms

National firms will usually have offices in several cities and towns
throughout the UK. Although sometimes they may just have a single large
office but still have a strong national presence. Each location will
usually meet the needs of the local area they’re in. So the London or
large city office will probably specialize in commercial law, but the
other offices could specialize in loads of other legal areas. National
firms have the experience and size to take on any number of clients;
they could work with the public sector or large international business.
Yet they may also take work on a local level from individuals in their
local community.

High street firms

High street firms are usually located within a single office in a town
center or village. The number of employees the firm has can vary. There
could be just a single solicitor or several supported by other legal
staff. High street firms will typically deal with local individuals and
small business. They may draft contracts for landlords and local shops,
undertake conveyancing work, will writing or even criminal &
personal injury work. They meet the typical day to day legal
requirements of the people and business in their local community. High
street firms can potentially practice in several areas of law.

General practice, legal aid and advice centers

Law on the high streets is undergoing a revolution as a result of the
Legal Services Act 2007. Some predict that thousands of tiny
partnerships and sole practitioners will give way to large franchises
and alternative business structures. This means that a Liverpool
solicitor may well find himself having to join on of the larger
Liverpool law firms in order to stay in the profession.
