Description
Roehampton Law School Clinic has been set up to give our law students practical legal experience at the same time as giving Wandsworth clients free legal advice. We offer one off appointments with a solicitor on Monday afternoons during the Autumn and Spring terms.
Please check the criteria below for the areas of law covered.
All appointments are currently on Zoom
Clients need to be able to upload documents online
Students carry out an initial fact-finding call with the client usually on Fridays.
Students assist solicitor and will attend the advice appointment.
Clients will receive letter confirming the advice given within two weeks of the appointment.
We provide ongoing casework in limited cases and strictly at our discretion.
Legal advice is limited to non-urgent issues in the following areas:
Private Landlord and Tenant - including repossessions under s.8 and s.21 Housing Act. Advice on validity of notice, how to prepare for the hearing and costs issues. (Excluding disrepair, harassment, conversion or property, social or shared housing disputes)
Mortgage repossessions; explaining to client what evidence is required and, or helpful to persuade the court to adjourn possession hearings or stay of warrant of execution.
Consumer Rights- General advice and letter drafting, (excluding mobile phone contracts).
Family Issues ;initial advice on relationship breakdown, not children matters
Employment Issues; where client is still in employment.
Interim County Court Applications - advising on making and or responding to interim applications and helping clients prepare for a court appearance.
