Getting set up as a consultant solicitor doesn’t require a significant hardware investment. Here’s what you’ll need to provide yourself, and what Setfords takes care of.
What You Need to Provide
You’ll need to have the following in place before you go live:
- A laptop or desktop: your primary device for managing your practice and accessing Setfords systems
- A secure internet connection: essential for remote working and keeping client data protected
- A mobile phone: if you wish to make and receive calls from a mobile device
What Setfords Provides
Setfords provides a desk phone as standard, along with an optional dictaphone. Our IT team will assist you in setting up both, so you’re ready to go from day one. As covered in our guide to the costs of becoming a consultant solicitor, a refundable deposit applies for this equipment.
