Finding legal advice
Whether it’s personal or business (or somewhere in between), a solicitor will know if you’re getting a fair go in any situation.
What type of solicitor do I need?
Legal issues fall under different areas of law. Some solicitors choose to work across a few different areas of law, while others specialise in a particular area.
When you search for a solicitor, you should ideally look for one that has experience working in the area of law that relates to your legal issue.

What area of law does my issue fall under?
Some legal issues are pretty straightforward, so it's easy to work out what kind of solicitor will be able to help you.
For example: If you are separating from your spouse, that's an issue that relates to your family. So, it makes sense that a family law solicitor will be able to assist you.
However, with other legal issues, it may not be as easy to make the connection.
Use the Legal issues guide
To help you work out what area of law your issue falls under, we have put together our Legal Issues Guide which lists the different areas of law and the types of issues that fall under each one.
Once you know the area of law you can use the Find a Solicitor search to search for a solicitor who works in that area of law
