The advice line can be extremely busy, so please be patient. In addition, the women barristers and solicitors who advise on our evening sessions are all volunteers. This inevitably means that because of volunteer absence we occasionally have to close the line at short notice. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and recommend that you call the Advice Line on 020 7251 6577 for the week’s open sessions.


Please note -both our advice lines are telephone services - unfortunately we cannot answer email enquiries.
