LEGAL GUIDANCE
Contacting Solie Law Chambers online and through social media
Use the firm’s published contact details to verify enquiries, instructions and payment requests before sharing sensitive information.
Where should a legal enquiry begin?
The firm’s contact page, telephone number +220 437 2522 and email info@solielaw.gm provide the starting points for an enquiry. Describe the issue briefly and identify any deadline.
A social-media page or direct message can be useful for general contact, but a name or logo alone does not confirm who controls an account. Historical social-media links should not be treated as current verification.
How can you check an unexpected message?
- Use contact details you obtained independently from the firm’s website.
- Ask the office to confirm the person, matter and request.
- Check unexpected changes to payment instructions before sending money.
- Keep the original message and attachments for review.
- Do not send passwords, one-time codes or bank credentials.
If you are unsure about a message, pause the requested action and verify it. Replying to the same uncertain account does not provide independent confirmation.
What belongs in a first enquiry?
Provide a short account of the issue, the people or business involved and the next relevant date. Do not post details of children, disputes, identity documents or private financial matters in public comments.
Ask how the firm wants documents supplied once the proposed instruction has been considered. If you are acting for someone else, make that clear so that authority and communication arrangements can be addressed.
When does the firm start acting?
A comment, follow, direct message or completed enquiry form is not an engagement agreement. Confirm that the firm has accepted the matter, agreed the work and addressed any deadline before relying on representation.
Read preparing a preliminary discussion and fees and instructions. For urgent matters, telephone and ask whether assistance is available rather than relying only on an unread online message.
