and then proceed to give legal advice?
I have nothing to do with the legal profession. I am referring to my dealings with a legal exec who I think is too big for their boots.
This person does not have a bachelor's degree and started out as a legal secretary. What I am trying to establish is if it's OK that she calls herself a solicitor without having done the study. Maybe it's a lose term?

You didn't specify whether not this "legal executive" is in fact a solicitor or not. Here in the U.S., we use the a term attorney and only attorney's can practice law. If you have not passed the bar exam, you cannot hold yourself out as an attorney.
