Free legal helpline

Through CIOL Advantage, Members and Fellows now have access to a free legal helpline, from Lyons Davidson Solicitors.

Everyone will require legal assistance at some point in their lives. If you are purchasing a property, involved in an accident, setting up a business or trying to ensure that you’ve made adequate provision for those closest to you, a discussion with a legal advisor would be an excellent first step.

Recognising this need, we have partnered with Lyons Davidson Solicitors and added legal services to our range of member benefits.

As a CIOL Member or Fellow, the telephone legal helpline is free for you to use.

Lyons Davidson’s team of legal advisors are available whenever you need them and are able to discuss any legal query you may have. Offering straightforward and friendly legal advice, they are there to help you find practical legal solutions that you can implement yourself where possible.

If you need a lawyer to act for you, the legal advisors will put you in touch with one of Lyons Davidson’s specialist teams to discuss how they can help and what any charges will be.


CIOL Members and Fellows can log in to access this benefit. After logging in, you'll see the benefit below.
