About NLS Legal

Our Legal Advice Centre (now NLS Legal) launched in 2014 and was officially opened by the Attorney General.

The firm design ensures that rooms are available for the discussion of confidential issues and that privacy is maintained. All information is provided in the strictest confidence.

NLS Legal is fully regulated as an Alternative Business Structure by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We develop pro bono opportunities for Nottingham Law School students and work closely with local firms, advice agencies, voluntary sector organisations and schools.

Over the last six years, we have recovered over £6 million in compensation / benefit for our clients. Since its inception, over 2,100 student volunteers have worked in the firm for over 1,900 clients.

The only UK Law School with an on-campus teaching law firm

 

Head of NLS Legal, Laura Pinkney explains how the facility benefits students by providing valuable work experience opportunities within a fully functional law firm.
