Volunteering opportunity
South Essex Law Clinic are looking to expand the areas of law they are able to advise on and are therefore are looking for volunteer qualified solicitors specialising in:
- Employment
- Medical negligence
- Civil law
- Immigration
Volunteer solicitors provide verbal advice to clients during 30 minute telephone appointments.
The clinic does not have it's own professional indemnity insurance and therefore any advice provided by a solicitor would need to be covered by their firm's insurance.
Person specification
Volunteers must be qualified solicitors (with practising certificates) who are experienced in one of the areas of law listed above. Trainees are welcome to assist the clinic but would need to be supervised by a qualified solicitor from the firm.
Time commitment
Ideally volunteer solicitors will be able to commit to volunteering 1 hour per week.
