About us
Need legal advice? | More 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.
We also make sure that people get the information, advice and legal help they need to deal with a wide range of problems.
Our vision is to make sure clients can access the help they need to address their legal problems.
Each year the LSC helps more than two million people to deal with their legal problems.
Need legal advice?
For free, confidential and independent legal advice visit the Community Legal Advice website.
The LSC itself is unable to provide legal advice or information. Case specific queries should be directed to your local office.
