Funnily enough I was just reading the wiki page on that very thing. So I 
should have

    office=lawyer
    lawyer=solicitor

As per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dlawyer

That does seem like a tempting solution. Apart from anything else it 
gives the renderers a better chance of doing something plausible. So I 
end up with:

    office=lawyer
    lawyer=solicitor
    shop=estate_agent
