Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

I need a solicitor to deal with a matter on my behalf. Can the Council’s Legal Services lawyers act for me or if they cannot can they recommend another solicitor locally?

Answer:

The Legal Services section is an in-house legal team who advise the Council and a number of its partner organizations on matters of Law. Legal Services cannot act as solicitors for members of the public or recommend them to particular firms of solicitors.

The Law Society of England & Wales maintains details of all solicitors and specialist law firms. The Law Society is able to assist members of the public in finding appropriate solicitors.

The Law Society can be contacted on 0870 606 6575 during business hours or visit the Law Society website.
