Legal Guides

Free, plain-English guides to common UK legal situations — written for people, not lawyers.

We’re building a library of straightforward guides to the situations people ask us about most. Below is a quick orientation. None of this is legal advice — for advice on your own situation, we’ll match you with a regulated solicitor.

Tenancy & deposits

Disputes over deposits, repairs, and eviction are some of the most common problems we see. There are strict rules landlords must follow, and tenants often have more options than they realise.

Employment

From unfair dismissal and redundancy to discrimination and unpaid wages — employment matters are often time-sensitive, with deadlines for bringing a claim.

Family

Divorce, separation and arrangements for children. These matters are personal and often benefit from a solicitor you can meet locally.

Wills & probate

Making a will, or dealing with someone’s estate after they’ve died. Usually handled remotely, so you can choose any firm.

Consumer

Faulty goods, poor service, and getting your money back. You have rights under UK consumer law that are stronger than many people expect.
