The Free Legal Advice Centre
Free, confidential and high quality legal advice.
The Free Legal Advice Centre at Toynbee Hall has been running for 125 years and is the world’s most continuously running free legal advice centre.
Each year we provide thousands of people with free legal assistance on a range of issues within UK law. We are a volunteer-run advice service, and we provide quality assured legal advice to people across London. Our volunteers are a mix of barristers, solicitors, trainee solicitors and law students.
If you would like to make an appointment to see a legal advisor, please complete the Initial Assessment form below.
What to expect at your advice appointment
Here’s more information on what the Free Legal Advice Centre can and cannot offer.
Please note: we always try our best to ensure that you are seen on time.
What we CAN do
• Provide confidential legal advice
• Offer one-off appointments
What we CANNOT do
• Represent you in court or at a tribunal
• Do any casework on your behalf
• Guarantee any repeat appointments received will be with an adviser you have seen in the past.
• Receive documents by email / post from you or third parties.
•Guarantee that you will be seen at the time your appointment was booked for, as appointments sometimes run over.
Self-help legal packs
With the help of our partners, we have put together a series of videos and guides to help with some of the most common legal issues that people experience. These guides can help you resolve your legal issues quickly, without the need for seeing an advisor.
