Trusted Independent Legal Advice (ILA) from a Qualified UK Solicitor – Fast, Professional, and Affordable

[ 

Do You Need Independent Legal Advice in the UK?

When you’re asked to sign a legal document such as a personal guarantee, mortgage agreement, or settlement deed, you may also be told to seek independent legal advice. Although this may seem like just another step in the process, it is, in fact, a critical legal requirement designed to protect you.

At Gordon and Thompson Solicitors, we provide fast, affordable, and fully compliant independent legal advice across the UK. Our team consists of experienced, SRA-regulated solicitors who offer clear, unbiased guidance to individuals and businesses alike.

What Exactly Is Independent Legal Advice?

Simply put, independent legal advice is legal guidance given by a solicitor who is entirely separate from the other parties involved in your agreement. This means your interests are the only priority.

For example, if you are signing a document related to a mortgage or business loan, the lender will often require proof that you fully understand the terms. Therefore, getting independent legal advice ensures that you’re not being pressured or misled.

You may require ILA for:

• Personal guarantees on loans

• Third-party or joint mortgages

• Occupier waiver forms

• Settlement or trust deeds

• Equity release or loan agreements

Why Independent Legal Advice Matters

Many people underestimate the importance of independent legal advice. However, without it, you could risk entering into agreements that are not in your best interest — or worse, legally invalid.

In addition, lenders, banks, and other institutions often require proof of ILA to protect all parties involved. For this reason, choosing a solicitor who understands the process inside and out is essential.
