What is a Boutique Law Firm?
Whereas a general practitioner covers many areas of the law, a boutique law firm can provide expert legal advice and services to individuals or small businesses in one or a select few areas of the law. For example, a boutique law firm with expertise in employment law can assist you in drafting, reviewing or finalising employment agreements.
Is Boutique Better?
While a boutique is not necessarily “better” than a general practice, a boutique lawyer may be more appropriate depending on your legal needs. In Australia, there is a growing trend in boutique law firms as a result of their offerings of qualified expertise in fields of law, often at a reduced price. If you seek assistance with a trademark, a boutique law firm with expertise in intellectual property law will benefit you by way of a stress-free and low-cost experience.
