Mary Ward Legal Centre is a registered charity based in Holborn WC1. The Legal Centre provides free legal advice, casework and representation in the main areas of social welfare law to people who live or work in London.

The main areas of law we can help with are debt, employment, housing and welfare benefits.

Mary Ward Legal Centre does not charge clients for the advice it gives nor the legal work it carries out. We give priority to those on a low income who could not otherwise afford legal help. You will normally need to qualify for free advice under the Legal Services Commission Legal Help (click here to see if you might qualify) scheme to enable the Legal Centre to provide you with advice and assistance. When you contact us we will assess whether you qualify. You will need to provide information about you and your partner's income and capital.

If you are not eligible, we will discuss alternative ways in which the Legal Centre may be able to help you or refer your case to another agency. For more information about the Mary Ward Legal Centre please see About the Mary Ward Legal Centre.
