Why is it a good idea to keep funds in your client account with Direct Lawyers?

IIt is always a good idea to leave a provision of funds with your lawyer in case you have unexpected expenses (payment of taxes, a new power of attorney, a payment to the notary for wills, additional community payments etc.) A provision of funds with your lawyer will enable you to make payment for anything unexpected without delays caused by extra transfers, authorisation forms etc.

It has to be pointed out that this account is not a personal account, but a client holding account and if the lawyer have financial difficulties creditors would be restrained to the personal accounts of the members of the firm. Moreover, clients are protected against legal wrongdoings from their lawyers, by means of a professional indemnity insurance.
