Legal services

Rugby Borough Council Legal Services is tasked with providing legal advice and representation to the Council corporately, its elected members and paid officers in connection with progressing official council business, and occasionally to other local councils or voluntary bodies that may be delivering services on our behalf or working to common goals.


It is a frequent misconception that we provide advice and representation to the general public.

Whilst we may be able to point people in the right direction when providing other legal information if they have business with the Council, we are not resourced or insured to provide direct legal services or advice to the public at large.

We normally refer such queries either to enquirers' own solicitors/licensed conveyancers, or to specialist volunteer bodies such as Citizens' Advice or Welfare Rights.
