Legal Providers
If you are in the West Midlands and Wales regions we have two legal providers allocated from our Legal Panel. The Back Up Legal Panel is a group of Legal Firms that we trust, and that have chosen to support Back Up’s mission of transforming lives affected by spinal cord injury.
We know these firms have a high level of expertise working with people who have sustained a spinal cord injury, and we want to help you find the best solicitor for you and your personal circumstances. We always recommend that anyone seeking legal advice in relation to a spinal cord injury should always speak to at least two or three firms before coming to a decision. For more information about our Legal Panel click here.
