Legal disclaimer

What this site is

If you are trying to work out what you can rely on here, this legal disclaimer is the place to start. London Solicitors Guide is an independent guide to solicitors in London, organised by practice area and by borough. It is not a law firm, and it does not give legal advice.

The guide does not employ solicitors, and it does not act for anyone. Therefore, you should treat each page as general reading, not as help with your own case.

No legal advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice. Pages explain how to find and check a solicitor, but they cannot tell you what to do about your own situation. Because every situation differs, ask a regulated solicitor about yours. Our check-a-solicitor page shows how to confirm that a firm is regulated before you rely on it.

The contact form has a limit too. You must not send details of a legal problem through the contact form, because London Solicitors Guide cannot advise on it. Before you speak to a solicitor, write down the questions you want answered, such as what the work involves and when any deadline falls.

No solicitor-client relationship

London Solicitors Guide does not act for anyone. It has no solicitor-client relationship with the people who read it. As a result, reading a page creates no such relationship.

Sending a message through the contact form creates none either, since the site does not employ solicitors and cannot act on your behalf. If you need a solicitor to act for you, you must find and instruct one yourself.

Information and sources

Every number, price range, date, court name, address and statutory fact on this site comes from a page that was read on the day. The pages for hubs and guides list their sources, so you can see where each fact came from.

However, limits and fees change. Before you act, check the official source for the current position, because a figure that was right when the page was read may have moved since. If the official source and this site disagree, rely on the official source.

Personal injury

London Solicitors Guide does not refer, match or sell personal injury claims. It lists no firms, has no claim checker and refers no claims. Because of that, the site cannot tell you whether you have a claim, and only a regulated solicitor can look at the details with you.
