The bureau will offer advice on employment law. The adviser may judge that the case is complex, if so they will make a referral to the solicitor on our legal rota. A summary of the issue is prepared in advance for the solicitor who will offer a short consultancy interview with the client.
The solicitor will advise on the merits of a case. They may refer the case back to the CAB for further assistance or suggest the client instructs a solicitor to obtain legal advice.
