Serbian term or phrase: zajednicka advokatska kancelarija
I'm looking for an idiomatic English term here - I've played around with 'chambers', 'legal firm/law firm + various adjectives' but can't seem to find something idiomatic without getting into difficulties over the barrister/solicitor distinction in English.

UK English is needed here.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions

Kind regards

partnership solicitors (solicitors in partnership)


Explanation:
Betesh Partnership Solicitors (BPS) is an experienced and trusted law firm with offices in central Manchester, Crumpsall and Hale.
http://www.bpslaw.co.uk/

Anderson Partnership Solicitors is a leading firm of Lawyers in Chesterfield and North Derbyshire. However, we are not a typical high street Law firm.
http://www.andersonslaw.co.uk/

Barristers work almost entirely as individuals; solicitors work mainly in partnerships or as employees; legal executives are nearly always employed by solicitors. Barristers are paid a fee per case; solicitors in partnership take a share in the firm's profits; employed barristers, assistant solicitors and legal executives are paid a salary. This could change if necessary.

At all material times, the Respondents carried on practice as solicitors in partnership under the style of Oberman Law at 15 Southampton Place, London WC1A 2AJ (“the firm”).
http://www.solicitorstribunal.org.uk/Content/documents/10919...

However, the regulations that govern us, the legal work that we do, and those who regulate what we do, are identical in every way as if we were solicitors in partnership.
http://www.lspartnership.co.uk/legal-disciplinary-partnershi...

There are currently twenty-six multi-disciplinary partnerships involving solicitors practicing as solicitors in partnership with nonlawyer partners practicing in NSW.

neutral  Daryo: partnership – yes, but "solicitor" is too misleading: a "solicitor" in England and Wales is not the same as an "advokat" in Serbia – too many differences //see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrister //

  -> Hvala; ovo je moj pokušaj u smislu "an idiomatic English term…UK English“, kako je u pitanju izričito traženo, a uz sve eventualne nedostatke koje navodite. Simon će najbolje znati šta mu odgovara.

neutral  Daryo: not a single "joint law office" based in UK; but OTOH it could be an advantage - it would make it clear these are not from UK
