Legal Services
The Legal Services Team
Legal Services provides legal advice and representation to the University of Nottingham. Instructions for advice and representation ordinarily come from the University's senior managers or their delegates.
The solicitors within Legal Services act on behalf of the University and are unable to undertake personal legal work for individual members of staff, or students.
