Law - solicitors

Solicitors provide legal advice, resolve disputes and represent their clients in legal matters. Solicitors are primarily employed by law firms, which range from small ‘high-street’ firms to international firms. However, it is also possible to become an ‘in-house’ lawyer at any organisation that requires legal advice. Here are the top ten employers in the sector.
