Get in touch with the Legal Advice Centre
Our clinics run from September to May every year.
The Legal Advice Centre is offering advice in person, by telephone or videocall.
If you need advice we accept referrals by telephone, 07968422574, or email LAC@ljmu.ac.uk.
We can advise on the following areas:
- Family: issues around divorce, separation, contact with children
- Civil litigation: disputes over contract breaches, money owed to you, professional negligence
- Wills and administration: what to do if someone dies without a will, disagreements about property someone has left after their death
- Commercial – see full description below
- Housing: problems with something your landlord has or has not done
We also welcome enquiries from law firms or other organisations assisting clients they think may be entitled to Exceptional Case Funding. Our specialist ECF clinic may be able to advise.

As a modern, civic university we are one of the only law schools in the UK where every student has the opportunity to get pro bono work experience from their first year onward, developing their practical skills while at the same time helping improve access to justice in the local community. Our University believes that even the most junior lawyer has a duty to give back to society.
Staffed by students, and supervised by experienced clinic staff and volunteer solicitors from leading Liverpool law firms, the Centre advises on a wide range of legal issues, provides public legal information services and conducts policy and other research. Our digital clinic work connects us with organisations across the UK and around the world who strive to empower communities to understand and enforce their rights.
