How to get advice
PLP does not offer case-specific advice direct to the general public. However, there are many ways in which we may be able to help you:
- We publish advice sheets and guides on common public law issues which are available in the resources of this site.
- We provide telephone advice to voluntary and community groups on public law matters, such as local authority funding decisions.
- We provide a specialist support service to lawyers and advisers (including CAB advisers) funded by the Legal Services Commission so they can access help from us on your behalf.
- We take on some cases on referral from other lawyers and advisers. Download our casework strategy.
Please note that all of our publications, advice and casework cover the law in England and Wales only. The leaflets on this site are for information and educational purposes only. You should not construe information on this site as being directly applicable to your own case. You should always seek advice on your specific circumstances from a lawyer who specialises in public law.
