HIA is often asked by members and consumers alike to recommend a solicitor or an accountant who specialises in providing advice and services in a particular area which is relevant to a member’s business.
Although HIA cannot recommend or warrant the skills of a particular external firm, HIA does maintain the following list of professional services firms who are members of HIA and practise in various areas, including:
Please note that whilst these firms can discuss your matter with you, they will charge you on a fee for service basis in the event that their services are required. Be sure to mention that you are a HIA member when you contact any of these firms.
As the choice of professional services firm is a very important one, this list should be used as a guide only.
