In development

The directory we're building.

A search that shows you regulated lawyers near you, what they charge, and how to reach them — without a form that sells your details to three firms at once.

It isn't open yet. The guides and the official registers below are, and they're free.

What to do this week, the deadlines that apply, and free help if you qualify.

The directory adds local firms, fees and reviews from people who actually used them.

Our standards

What we're promising, before we build it

Legal directories have a reputation for selling enquiries to whoever pays most. These are the rules we're building to — hold us to them.

01

Regulated firms only

Every listing matched to the SRA, the Law Society of Scotland or Northern Ireland, CILEx Regulation, the CLC or the IAA before it goes live.

02

Reviews from real clients

Only from people who contacted the firm through us, one per matter, and firms can reply but never delete. Until there are real ones, there are none.

03

Your enquiry isn't a lead

You contact the firm you chose. We don't sell your details on to a panel of firms or a claims company.

Tell me when it opens

One email when the directory covers your area of law and your part of the UK. Nothing else, ever.

Please don't send details of your legal problem — this is just a mailing list, and we can't advise you.

Are you a lawyer?

We're building the first listings now. Founding firms help shape how fees and reviews are shown — and what we won't do.

No fees have been set and nothing is being sold yet. We'll come back to you before anything goes live.

NeedALawyer.co.uk gives general information, not legal advice, and we are not a law firm. The law differs in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If something is urgent, contact a solicitor or, in an emergency, call 999.
