LAB is running a 'Choose your own Assigned Solicitor' Programme which allows applicants of legal aid to choose their preferred Assigned Solicitor. However, this programme is only open to applicants who wish to initiate civil divorce proceedings and have not commenced proceedings yet.

More details about the programme and the list of our participating Assigned Solicitors can be found here.

For other queries about this programme, please refer to this link.

For all other cases, LAB will choose an Assigned Solicitor for you, based on various factors, such as the Assigned Solicitor's area of expertise and language spoken.
