Legal Definitions - office practice

Office practice refers to a type of law practice that deals with legal matters that do not involve going to court. This includes tasks such as:

• Negotiating and drafting contracts

• Advising on tax or employment issues

For example, a lawyer who specializes in office practice may help a client set up a new business by drafting the necessary legal documents, such as articles of incorporation or partnership agreements. They may also advise clients on tax laws and help them navigate employment regulations.

Overall, office practice is focused on providing legal guidance and support to clients in a variety of non-litigious matters.
