In general, lawyers are careful not to frame the opinions they express in a way that triggers strict liability, although parties seeking the lawyer`s advice expect the lawyer to be liable if he acts negligently.

However, it is important to remember that a lawyer`s opinion is only an opinion – not a guarantee. In general, there will be a list of assumptions on which the preparation of the opinion is based. All assumptions and aspects on which they are based must be indicated in the opinion. Of course, assumptions should only be made in respect of facts that the lawyer knows or has reason to believe are accurate.

Legal advice is defined in the dictionary as “advice given by an expert in professional matters”. Whenever you seek advice from a lawyer, you should indicate whether you need legal advice or advice and whether the lawyer you wish to use can give you advice or opinions according to your needs. Good opinions are practical and written in plain language.
