The ASP LONDON provides the broadest range of legal help to union members in the UK. We offer advice and assistance not just with work issues, but for you and your family outside the workplace too.

​EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS:

The ASP LONDON boasts the largest number of local union reps, branches and officers in the UK. They're your first port of call for advice and support with problems at work. Where necessary they can refer your case to the regional office or ASP's specialist in-house lawyers and trade union solicitors.

​INJURY AND ACCIDENTS AT WORK:

The ASP London has won more than £350 million in compensation for members involved in work-related personal injuries. This includes assaults, industrial diseases and accidents at work, on the way to or from work or on union business.

Accidents outside work:

ASP's personal injury service covers any accident which happens to you and your family outside the workplace, including:

• Road traffic accidents
• Accidents in the street
• Accidents while on holiday
• Disease cases
• Slipping and tripping accidents.

​Free initial legal advice:
ASP members can get free initial legal advice on any matter not related to work from ASP's solicitors. This service entitles you to receive a 30-minute telephone interview. The service does not apply to advice on a legal action that you are already pursuing or cover Inheritance Tax issues. Members are not entitled to return for advice on the same issue under this scheme.
WORK TENANCY PROBLEMS:
You may be eligible for advice from ASP's solicitors if you need to live in particular accommodation as part of your job or your employer has given you accommodation as part of the job.

CRIMINAL CASES:
Members get free legal representation if they face criminal charges arising out of their work. This includes representation for members for road traffic offences only if the members job is at risk following a conviction and excludes drink driving offences.
To access this service you should complete a CR form with your branch yourself.

IMMIGRATION:

ASP can provide advice or represent members who experience immigration problems that threaten their employment.

​MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE:

ASP offers a free initial screening service for members who have been affected by medical negligence.
