How Counsel Connect works

Finding a solicitor usually means ringing round firms one at a time. This turns that on its head: you write your enquiry once and the right firms come to you.

1. 01

   Describe your matter

   Pick your area of law and your county, then write a short summary of what has happened and what you need. It takes a couple of minutes.

2. 02

   We match and notify firms

   Your enquiry is passed to every approved, regulated firm that handles that area of law in that county. Nothing is published publicly.

3. 03

   Firms reply to you

   Interested solicitors get in touch using the contact details you gave. You can see the whole trail in your account.

4. 04

   You choose

   Compare approach, availability and cost, then instruct the firm you are happiest with. Or none of them, if nothing fits.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to send an enquiry?

No. Sending an enquiry is free for members of the public. Solicitors pay to receive matched enquiries.

How many solicitors will contact me?

Your enquiry goes to every approved firm covering your area of law and county. Only those interested will respond.

Am I obliged to instruct anyone?

Not at all. You compare the responses and decide, and you are free to instruct nobody.

Are the firms regulated?

Yes. Every listed firm is checked before approval and displays its regulatory number where provided.
