About our work in Wales

Paul Davies is the Regional Director responsible for the provision of both civil and criminal legal aid in Wales. The Commissioner for Wales is Tom Jones.

Legal aid helps some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Welsh communities.

The LSC in Wales has invested over £75m per annum in developing the Community Legal Service and the Criminal Defence Service to help people get quality legal services that tackle real needs.

We estimated that we helped 55,000 in Wales this year.

Legal aid in Wales is managed by our Cardiff office.
