At First Law Solicitors, we believe that every client deserves clear and straightforward explanations of their legal documents and options.
Our Client Guidance and Explanations service is designed to help individuals and businesses understand the meaning, effect and implications of legal papers before they sign or rely on them.
We know that legal language can be formal and complex. Our solicitors translate that language into plain English, explaining what each clause or term means and how it applies to your situation. We help you make informed decisions with confidence and clarity.
Whether you have received a contract, agreement, declaration or court document, it is essential to know exactly what it says and what it requires of you.
Our solicitors review your document carefully, explain its purpose, outline your obligations and clarify any risks or responsibilities involved.
We can guide you through the meaning of specific provisions, such as confidentiality clauses, limitation of liability, payment or notice terms, and dispute resolution procedures.
Our explanations are impartial and practical, giving you the knowledge to decide whether to proceed, amend or seek further advice.
This service is particularly useful for clients who have been sent legal forms by third parties, banks, estate agents, employers or foreign authorities and want to ensure that they fully understand what they are agreeing to.
Our approach is straightforward. We begin by reading and assessing the document in full. We then discuss it with you in plain English, explaining its main purpose, key clauses and overall effect.
We can meet you in person, by telephone or through a secure video appointment, whichever is most convenient for you.
If the document is complex, we can provide a written summary that breaks down its structure and highlights any areas where clarification or amendment might be advisable.
Our goal is to ensure that you understand both the legal meaning and the practical consequences of what you are signing.
Our Client Guidance and Explanations service is not limited to legal paperwork. It also includes helping clients understand how particular legal processes work.
We explain what to expect when making a statutory declaration, appointing an attorney, signing a lease, or entering into a business contract.
We ensure that you are aware of the steps involved, the documents you will need, and the likely outcomes or next stages once you sign.
This helps clients avoid common mistakes and unnecessary costs that can arise when documents are misunderstood or incorrectly executed.
We treat every client matter with discretion and professionalism.
All information and documents are handled in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, under the oversight of the Information Commission (formerly the ICO).
Records are securely stored, whether digital or paper-based, and access is strictly limited to authorised personnel involved in your matter.
