Legal Advice
Free, confidential and high quality legal advice
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.

Legal Advice Centre Timetable
Please note: All legal advice sessions are by appointment only.
Please note: During very busy times you might have to wait for several hours until you see an adviser. The adviser who assists you does not act as your solicitor and cannot represent you in court.
