As a qualified Solicitor Advocate, I have many years of experience in the legal sector. These real-life legal skills help me to ensure that the university’s law programmes, cover the theoretical knowledge needed to succeed in the law but with a practical edge. This approach helps our students to place the theory from books and journals into everyday legal situations and helps to ensure that our successful law graduates can quickly adapt to working in legal settings.
In addition, as a qualified Solicitor, I have responsibility for supervising the University Pro-Bono scheme. This scheme provides learners with the chance to engage in a range of ongoing activities all designed to improve your knowledge of the law and your practical skills.

"An amazing service which has been far superior to that of legal services I have paid for. The whole process has been professional whilst incredibly supportive through a system that is overwhelming. I would whole heartedly, recommend the Bolton University Legal Advice Service to anyone requiring guidance in relation to legal matters."
"Ian is a credit to the department and is a very helpful and knowledgeable person. Despite COVID limitations, very thorough and detailed advice has been provided in a short time frame and in a easy to understand manner. I would like to extend a huge thank you to Ian and the students for the work provided!"
"I was very impressed at the professionalism shown through. The detailed advice given is amazing and I feel equipped for how I want to proceed with my issue. I’m so very grateful for this free service and will be informing others to utilise it too."
"I contacted the advice centre regarding a housing issue, I was offered an appointment the next day and was given a very detailed and well written letter presenting my options. I was very impressed with the speed and quality of the service and was made to feel comfortable during the interview. I couldn't recommend them more."
