You do not need to satisfy the English requirement for your extension, if you have already fulfilled that in your initial application.
So verily, with every difficulty, there is relief.

There is simply no need. Don't rely completely on your solicitor's advice.

Tier 1 entrepreneur policy guidance, page 60:
Claiming points
233. You can also meet the English language requirement, without the need to provide evidence, if
you were last given permission to stay in the UK:
 under Tier 1 (General), Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur), Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) or Tier
1 (Entrepreneur) and are applying for an extension of leave to remain;

Why does UKVI even ask for english proof in extension as every entrepreneur had to prove it for initial application?
