I'm looking for an idiomatic English term here - I've played around with 'chambers', 'legal firm/law firm + various adjectives' but can't seem to find something idiomatic without getting into difficulties over the barrister/solicitor distinction in English.
UK English is needed here.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions
Kind regards

Daryo
: not a single "joint law office" based in UK; but OTOH it could be an advantage - it would make it clear these are not from UK

Barristers work almost entirely as individuals; solicitors work mainly in partnerships or as employees; legal executives are nearly always employed by solicitors. Barristers are paid a fee per case; solicitors in partnership take a share in the firm's profits; employed barristers, assistant solicitors and legal executives are paid a salary. This could change if necessary.

: partnership – yes, but "solicitor" is too misleading: a "solicitor" in England and Wales is not the same as an "advokat" in Serbia – too many differences //see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrister //

Hvala; ovo je moj pokušaj u smislu "an idiomatic English term…UK English“, kako je u pitanju izričito traženo, a uz sve eventualne nedostatke koje navodite. Simon će najbolje znati šta mu odgovara.

Another option would be to find a firm of solicitors that have also the right of audience in higher courts, to see if they've found some different name for themselves.
