Legal Services Office - what we do summary

Advisory

The Legal Services Office provides practical legal advice in respect of the day to day activities of the College which is intended to enable College Officers to make informed decisions on behalf of the College.

Standard Form Documentation

One of the aims of the Legal Services Office is to develop, where appropriate to do so, standard form legal documentation for use throughout the College. If you would like to discuss the development of a standard form document, please contact Milena Radoycheva at m.radoycheva@imperial.ac.uk or Justine Soulieux at j.soulieux@imperial.ac.uk.

External Lawyers

Where appropriate to do so, we will brief external lawyers on behalf of the College, please see Imperial and external lawyers.

Who to Contact First in Respect of Certain Matters

A number of College Departments already provide support and assistance in respect of legally-related matters. Consequently, if you need advice in relation to one of these other areas, in the first instance you should contact the individual or department responsible for that area. Please see our Niche Areas - Who to Contact First page for further details: Niche advice and services.

Important notice

Before briefing the Legal Services Office on a matter you should always ensure that you first seek approval from your manager. If you have approval to contact us, please clearly define what you would like us to do and set out all relevant background information, including any time constraints. Please brief us as soon as possible in the process so as to enable us to provide you with relevant and timely advice.
