Choose not to get involved with solicitor after work (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opt out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'choose not to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'involved with solicitor after work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'solicitor' could be 'tout' (someone who solicits business) and 'tout' is present in the answer.
'work' could be 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus') and 'op' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for opt out that I've seen before include "Choose not to participate" , "Choose not to do something" , "'Choose not to take part (3,3)'" , "Decide not to participate" , "Choose to be excluded" .)
