Swansea Law Clinic

30-minute Initial Advice Appointments

FREE 30-minute initial advice appointments with a solicitor or paralegal can be arranged. These appointments are held on Zoom.

Appointments are arranged on a case-by-case basis depending on the volunteer solicitor’s availability, ability to advise in the particular area of law, and provided they have no conflicts in advising.

Supported by: Duncan Lewis Solicitors, Peter Lynn and Partners, Graham Evans and Partners, Smith Llewellyn and Douglas-Jones Mercer Solicitors.

Student Advisor Appointments

FREE appointments with our student advisors can be arranged during term times. Appointments are used as information-gathering sessions, which are then followed-up by a legal advice letter.

If you would like to be considered for an appointment, please download and complete our 2023 Bilingual Client Appointment Request Form and return it to lawclinic@swansea.ac.uk

**Currently appointments are taking place over Zoom.**

30-minute initial advice appointments with solicitors are flexible, but are generally arranged on a Wednesday afternoon.

Student advisor appointments (term time only) are held on Monday afternoons.

We cannot take appointments for issues that concern criminal law, will writing, tax and debt. We also cannot assist any person wishing to pursue a claim against the University, its governors, employees or students. Nor can we assist in claims that may create a conflict of interest for our supervising law firms. We reserve the right not to give advice in any particular case.
