I was surprised how many practices or groups or whatever assemblages
of lawyers are called claim that they practice in all areas of law,

do. They can't all have experts in everything from real estate, wills
and probate, criminal law, medical malpractice, divorce, etc etc.

I don't know about the rules in Newfoundland, but in my part of .us,
because there are no specialty bar exams, lawyers are not allowed to
advertise as specialists. (Whereas doctors are, provided they have
been so certified, because there is such a system of specialty
certification.)
