The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre is committed to providing free legal advice services for members of the public and Queen Mary staff and students, whilst meeting the educational needs of our students.

We are a student law centre (and therefore our clinic is a teaching and learning environment). However, we do aim to comply with the professional standards applicable to the legal profession. We are not regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales and do not hold ourselves out to be a solicitor's practice. We are however a member of LawWorks and are committed to Pro Bono Protocol.

Our law students work under the supervision of qualified lawyers, interviewing clients, analysing their legal problems and researching the issues involved in their client’s case.

Clients are then sent a written letter of advice, normally within two weeks of the initial interview.

The legal advice we provide is privileged. For more information on what this means, see Legal advice privilege [PDF 758KB]
