• Help and advice for small businesses on goods and services they purchase when acting as a consumer i.e., not for resale.

• Pre-emptive help and advice - find out your rights before you buy

Our team can help and advise you in respect of the above from an initial problem right to the court door (provided your claim falls within the small claims procedure - with a value of less than £10,000 in England, £3,000 in Scotland and Northern Ireland).

If you're not sure we can help you or if you cannot see your specific issue call us. One of our advisers will be able to tell you if we can help, and how.  If it is that we can't help we may be able to provide you with details of bodies or Organisations that can.

The service is an advice-only service, specialising in consumer law, employment rights and setting up or creating your Will or Power of Attorney.

We also provide advice to help you represent yourself at Small Claims Court (where value is less than £10,000 in England or £3,000 in Scotland and Northern Ireland), but we cannot provide representation in court, for you or on your behalf.

Our advice spans consumer rights but does not cover criminal or family law.

We are not able to draft documents on your behalf (unless in relation to a Settlement Agreement), but we can advise you on how to fill these in and provide you with tried and tested templates so you have the tools and knowledge you need to effectively tackle your issue.

Further exclusions are:

• Against any Government Bodies (exception is for employment matters)
• Any Criminal law - Arrests, Littering, Assault/GBH
• Something another solicitor is already advising you on
• Insolvency or insolvency proceedings/Debt
• The merits of a case if proceedings were issued before you took advice from us
• Claims made against you by an individual – except neighbour disputes.
• Family Law/Divorces/Child custody/Child maintenance
• Defamation

Our service provides advice to customers in the UK on matters concerning the law of England and Wales.

We can advise on law of Scotland and Northern Ireland in relation to most issues, but we have listed separately the areas we cannot provide advice on and suggested other organisations who may be able to help.

• Scotland
• Northern Ireland

In order to make dealing with your problem as straightforward as possible, you can call us as many times as you wish and we will provide step-by-step help or advice to help with your case. You can call us between 8.30am and 6pm Monday to Friday

Your call will be answered by our dedicated customer service team who will take brief details and then try to connect you to one of our legal advisers for help. If you need advice, you’ll be pleased to know that all of our specialist advisers have an average of 12 years' experience.
