Wolfe & Black is not a firm of solicitors. We provide non-reserved case preparation and permitted support. Reserved or separately regulated work is not undertaken unless a lawful basis exists; where it is required, we identify the need for an appropriately authorised professional.
Not sure whether your matter fits?
Tell us what happened, what decision or proceedings you face and the deadline. We will identify whether Wolfe & Black can support the matter directly, whether an authorised professional is needed for a particular step, or whether the matter should be referred elsewhere.
