The University of Suffolk Legal Advice Centre provides free legal advice to our local community, whilst at the same time providing our law students with an opportunity to gain practical experience.

We provide legal advice in two areas of law — family law and new businesses and start-ups. To ensure we are able to reach all of our clients, it is possible to request either a meeting in person or an appointment online. We provide an initial one-hour consultation and then written advice will be provided to you within seven-ten working days by our students, who are supervised by qualified solicitors.

We are hugely grateful to be assisted by our volunteer solicitors, Richard Port MBE of George Green Solicitors, Ben Hargraves of Radius Law and Andrew Tubb of Birketts Solicitors and Paul Whittingham.
