Free Legal and Business Advice

Law Express 

We aim to enhance our services to CPA Members by using the services of our legal helpline provider, Law Express.

They are an established and respected business, and will be able to deal with most enquiries - Commercial Law, Company Law, Employment Law, Health and Safety and Taxation. They will not, however, be able to assist Members on issues surrounding the CPA Conditions; you must contact the CPA instead.

We would request that Members initially contact the CPA to ascertain whether we can be of assistance before contacting Law Express.

If they cannot deal with your query immediately, they will endeavour to return your call within the hour.

You can download a summary below that provides an overview of the services Law Express provide. 

The Law Express Legal Advice Service is provided as part of the benefits available to CPA Members.
