About London Solicitors Guide
What London Solicitors Guide is
If you need a solicitor in London but do not know where to start, you first need to know which area of law your problem falls into. About London Solicitors Guide, in short: it is an independent guide to solicitors in London. It arranges its pages by practice area and by borough, so you can follow either route.
The guide covers eight practice areas. They are family law and divorce, conveyancing and property, wills and probate, employment law, immigration, criminal defence, dispute resolution, and personal injury. You can see them all on the practice areas page. Personal injury is a guide only, so it offers background and no firm listings.
There are guide pages for 30 London boroughs, and the boroughs page lists them. However, the boroughs page also names City of London, Kensington and Chelsea and Southwark, which have no page of their own yet.
Why the site is independent
Independence matters because a guide is only useful if nobody has bought a place in it. For that reason, the site runs no paid ranking of firms at launch. Nothing you read here has moved up or down because a firm paid.
The site names no law firm, so no page carries a favoured name. Best in our web address is only a name; we never rank, rate or recommend firms. Since no firm appears, no firm can claim the guide backs it.
As an independent guide and review, this site lists no firms and recommends none. However, you can still find a solicitor yourself, and how we list firms explains how. That page also shows you how to check a solicitor once you have a name.
What the site is not
Because people sometimes expect more from a website than it can give, it helps to be plain about the limits. London Solicitors Guide is not a law firm. It does not employ solicitors, and it does not act for anyone.
As a result, reading the site creates no solicitor-client relationship between you and the guide. The pages explain how legal work in each area tends to go, but they cannot tell you what to do in your own case. For advice on your own matter, you need to speak to a regulated solicitor.
Personal injury needs a specific mention. The site lists no firms, refers no claims, does not match or sell personal injury claims, and has no claim checker. However, if you see a page elsewhere that promises to do those things, it is not this one.
How the site is funded
Running a guide costs money, so it is fair to say where that money will come from. The plan is to fund London Solicitors Guide through display advertising and, later, clearly labelled featured listings.
There are no featured listings at launch. If they do arrive, they will carry a clear label so that you can tell them apart from everything else on the page. That plan describes an intention, not a feature you can use today.
How to get in touch
The contact form is the only way to reach London Solicitors Guide. It offers four topics: a question about the site, suggest a correction, report a problem, and press or partnership. Therefore, you can send an enquiry from that page on any of those topics.
Please do not put the details of a legal problem in the form. The guide cannot advise on it, so the form is the wrong place for it.
Where to go next
Since this site lists no firms, start with how we list firms. That page explains how you can find and check a solicitor yourself. For the way the guides are researched and written, read the editorial policy. Before you contact any firm, the check-a-solicitor page shows you what to look for.
