Legal Advice Centre

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 are very grateful to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Helen Langton, for the continued support in this project.

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 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, Amanda Timcke and Alexandra Nelson of Birketts Solicitors and Mary Cleaver of Oslers Solicitors.

Awards Success

We are really proud to say we have been highly commended at the LawWorks and Attorney General Student Pro Bono Awards. Well done to all those who were nominated and shortlisted. We would like to thank the Attorney General, LawWorks and Lexis Nexis for organising the awards. As well as Richard Port MBE of George Green Solicitors and Amanda Timcke of Birketts Solicitors for their continued support of the Legal Advice Centre.
