What to know about Lawyers
The United Kingdom is not one legal system. England and Wales share one, Scotland has its own, and Northern Ireland has a third. Each has separate courts, separate regulators and, in large areas of law, separate rules. A solicitor admitted in England and Wales is not automatically able to act for you in Glasgow or Belfast. So the first thing to settle is which jurisdiction your problem belongs to, which usually follows where you live, where the property sits or where the contract was made.
