About the LSC
The Legal Services Commission (LSC) runs the legal aid scheme in England and Wales.
We work in partnership with solicitors and not-for-profit organisations to provide information, advice and legal representation to people in need.
This section contains information about our organisation and how it works. You can find details of our structure, senior staff and 15 offices based across England and Wales.
How to get help with a legal problem
- Worried about benefits or tax credits?
- Having problems with your child’s school?
- Are your debts out of control?
- Are you being treated unfairly at work?
- Are you having problems with your landlord?
Community Legal Advice can help with these kinds of problems if you are eligible for legal aid.
Call the helpline now on 0845 345 4345.
Calls cost no more than 4p per minute from a BT landline but calls from mobiles are usually more. Worried about the cost? Ask an adviser to call you back.
The helpline has a translation service if you would like advice in a language other than English or Welsh.
