I Need A Lawyer To… — Find the right solicitor in Scotland

A Scottish solicitors’ practice, regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. Free to use. Our panel is not the whole Scottish profession, and you may instruct any solicitor you wish. Where we do not act for you ourselves we introduce you to a panel firm, and that firm may pay us a share of its fee. It never comes out of your compensation or your pocket.

Scotland only · Free to use

Scots law is not English law. Tell us what you need and we will show you the firms on our panel that take that kind of work. Every one of them is on the roll of the Law Society of Scotland.

Sending an enquiry does not instruct us to act for you. We will not protect a time limit or take any legal step unless we confirm in writing that we have accepted instructions.

How it works

Three steps. No cost, no obligation.

Our panel is not the whole Scottish profession. You are never required to use a firm we introduce you to, you may approach any solicitor in Scotland directly, and in many matters you may act for yourself.

1

Tell us what you need

Finish the sentence at the top of the page. A few short questions establish the area of law and where in Scotland you are. No forms, nothing to download.

2

See who handles it

We show you the panel firms that take that kind of work, where they are based, and their Law Society of Scotland registration number, so you can check them yourself.

3

You choose, they call

You decide who receives your enquiry. They undertake to attempt contact within 24 hours during office hours — and we ask you afterwards whether they actually did.

Scotland, end to end

From Stranraer to Shetland.

Scots law applies wherever you are, but the sheriff court that hears your case, and the firms that practise in front of it, do not. We route by where you are and by which law applies — not by whoever paid the most this month.

  • Every firm verified on the Law Society roll before listing
  • Response times measured from both sides, not self-reported
  • Published fees shown where a firm publishes them, and marked where it does not

Why this site exists

Most legal websites are written for England.

If a site is telling you about probate, county courts or injunctions, it is not describing your position. The differences are not cosmetic.

In Scotland
There is no probate. An estate is wound up through confirmation.
You are the pursuer. Actions are raised in the sheriff court or the Court of Session.
A spouse and children have legal rights in the estate, whatever the will says.
Injuries are valued individually. There is no whiplash tariff.
Time runs from a child’s sixteenth birthday.

In England & Wales
Probate, granted by the Probate Registry.
Claimant. Claims issued in the county court.
No forced share — a will can disinherit entirely.
A fixed government tariff sets most whiplash values.
Time runs from the eighteenth birthday.

Areas of law

Every area of Scots law, as each panel is built.

We list a category only once we have solicitors ready to take the work. Where a panel is still being built, we say so rather than passing you to whoever will pay.

We do not rank solicitors, score them or tell you one is better than another. We tell you who is qualified, who is available, and what they charge — and then we get out of the way.

Our editorial position, in full

For Scottish solicitors

Nothing up front. You pay when you get the work.

We are a Scottish solicitors’ practice. Where an enquiry is not work we do ourselves, we refer it to a firm on our panel on a fee-sharing basis, and we are paid only on cases you accept.

For your compliance partner: this is a referral between solicitors, so Rule D9.2 is not engaged — the prohibition applies to sharing fees with an unqualified person. We ask that the arrangement be disclosed to the client at engagement, in line with the Society’s guidance.

00%of the fee, on cases you accept
  • No subscription, no monthly fee, no volume commitment
  • Nothing payable on enquiries you decline
  • Non-poaching commitment — we refer the case, not your client
  • Structured handover, routed within seconds

Sheriff courts, health boards and the pattern of legal work all differ across Scotland. These pages set out what is local to you — and say plainly where being local does not actually matter.

All locations, and by area of law

Tell us what has happened.

Two minutes, no cost, and no obligation. We will show you the Scottish firms that handle your type of case, and you decide whether to send anything at all.
