Legal notice – products and services

4. United Workers Alliance operates as a consultancy, providing self-representation support, coaching, and unreserved legal services for individuals involved in workplace and Employment Tribunal matters. We are not a regulated law firm, we are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and we do not provide:

   • Reserved legal services (as defined in the Legal Services Act 2007),

   • Immigration services,

   • Claims management services,

   • Regulated financial services activities, or

   • Notarial services.

   If your matter requires any of the above, we will, where possible, signpost you to alternative regulated or specialist providers.

5. Accordingly, we do not offer the following Reserved Legal Services:

6. Rights of audience:

   The reserved right to appear before and address a court, including the right to call and examine witnesses, except where permitted as a lay representative in tribunals or similar forums and subject always to the permission and rules of that forum.

7. Conduct of litigation:

   The issuing of proceedings before any court in England and Wales; the commencement, prosecution, and defence of such proceedings; and the performance of any ancillary functions in relation to such proceedings (such as acting as the formal address for service or being recorded as the legal representative of record).

8. Reserved instrument activities:

   Preparing any instrument of transfer or charge for the purposes of the Land Registration Act 2002; making an application or lodging a document for registration under that Act; preparing any other instrument relating to real or personal estate for the purposes of the law of England and Wales; or preparing instruments relating to court proceedings in England and Wales.

9. Probate activities:

   Activities relating to the administration of a deceased person’s estate where these are reserved.

10. Administration of oaths.

We support you by drafting, explaining, and coaching you to run your own case. You remain the litigant/party, and you are responsible for submitting documents and complying with formal requirements unless otherwise agreed with a regulated professional.

Professional indemnity and compensation schemes

11. United Workers Alliance holds professional indemnity insurance in respect of the consultancy services we provide. Details of our current cover can be provided upon reasonable request.

12. Any claim in relation to services provided by United Workers Alliance shall be made only against United Workers Alliance and not personally against any individual consultant, staff member, or contractor. As we are not regulated by the SRA, you cannot make a claim on the SRA Compensation Fund in relation to our services. That fund is only available to clients of law firms regulated by the SRA.

13. Please contact us if you require further explanation of the above so that you understand your position before engaging our services.

Legal notice – website

14. United Workers Alliance does not provide legal, tax, financial, or other regulated advice through this Website alone.

If you are unsure what steps to take in your legal matter, or about the drafting of any legal document, you should obtain advice from a suitably qualified and regulated solicitor.

    Using this Website does not create a solicitor–client or lawyer–client relationship between you and United Workers Alliance (or any person associated with United Workers Alliance).
