Current charge for what solicitors do (6)
I believe the answer is:
accost
'what solicitors do' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'current charge' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'charge' becomes 'cost' (I've seen this before).
'ac'+'cost'='ACCOST'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for accost that I've seen before include "approach with menaces" , "Approach and threaten (someone)" , "Approach boldly or aggressively" , "such as a solicitor might do" , "Come boldly up to" .)
