We are not a solicitors firm and we do not give legal advice.

Any resulting contract that you enter into for legal services will be with one of these independent solicitors' firms and we will not be a party to it. 

We, therefore, do not accept any responsibility or related liability for any advice given to you or other work carried out on your behalf, by these solicitors, or any other solicitor that you chose to appoint.

You are under no obligation to instruct one of our chosen solicitors' firms to represent you.

If you win your personal injury or road traffic accident claim, you are likely to be required to make a contribution to your legal costs and expenses.
