The most important message to take away from this blog is that legal aid is still very much available during lockdown.
Legal aid lawyers at MSB are undertaking all aspects of publicly funded family law. Throughout lockdown we have been able to give advice to new clients over the telephone and we are able to carry out swift and accurate legal aid eligibility assessments.
If you need advice or support, you can be sure that we have right solution for you.
If you want to get in touch, please complete the form below.
We wish to reassure all of our clients that we are open for business and continue to provide our clients with the service that they expect.
We have put measures in place to ensure that almost all of our workforce are now working from home.
We have a very small skeleton staff in the office supporting those who are working from home.
All of team MSB have access to email and are contactable via their direct phone numbers as normal. They are also available via video call and out of hours if needed.
At this time, we would ask all clients to avoid attending our offices. If you believe that you need to attend one of our offices, please call and arrangements will be made where possible.
We appreciate that these are difficult times and people will have concerns and require urgent legal help. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are confident that we have properly balanced the safety of our staff with the needs of our clients, enabling us to continue business as usual.
We have put together a series of briefings on the subject of Covid-19 that you may find helpful.
We hope that you and your families remain safe and well.
Emma Carey,
Managing Partner
