legal advice
The professional service in which a legally qualified person (e.g., a lawyer) advises and informs clients on legal questions.
Vor der Vertragsunterzeichnung holte sie sich eine professionelle Rechtsberatung ein.
Before signing the contract, she obtained professional legal advice.
The word is composed of three parts: 'Recht' (law/right) + the linking -s + 'Beratung' (advice/consultation). So it literally means 'advice about the law'.
Eine gute Rechtsberatung kann teuer sein.
Good legal advice can be expensive.
When someone needs legal advice, verbs such as 'in Anspruch nehmen' (to make use of), 'suchen' (to seek), or 'sich holen' (to get for oneself) are often used. A law firm can 'anbieten' (offer) legal advice.
Studenten können oft eine kostenlose Rechtsberatung in Anspruch nehmen.
Students can often make use of free legal advice.
In Germany, 'Rechtsberatung' (legal advice) is a legally protected service. As a rule, it may only be offered by qualified people, such as lawyers.
Ohne Zulassung darf man in Deutschland keine Rechtsberatung durchführen.
Without authorization, you may not provide legal advice in Germany.
