Brit LawHelp was created with one simple mission: to make UK legal information accessible, understandable, and free for everyone — regardless of income or background.
Brit LawHelp is written and maintained by Ilham Nahmadov, founder and editor of Brit LawHelp. I built Brit LawHelp because UK legal information is often confusing and difficult to understand. My goal is to make the law more accessible by providing free calculators and plain-English guides that help people better understand their rights and options. Brit LawHelp is an independent, self-funded information site — it is not a law firm, and no one on the team is a practising solicitor unless stated on a specific guide.
Questions, corrections, or feedback on any page can be sent to info@britlawhelp.co.uk — every correction is read and actioned by a named editor, not a support queue.
The legal system in England and Wales can feel overwhelming and expensive. But knowing your rights should never depend on how much money you have. We believe that every person in the UK deserves to understand their basic legal rights — whether they're facing redundancy, a road traffic accident, a difficult landlord, or a dispute with HMRC.
Our free calculators and plain-English guides help ordinary people navigate situations that might otherwise require expensive legal consultations. We cover 16 legal categories and provide 164 free interactive legal calculators — all completely free, with no registration required.
Every calculator and guide on Brit LawHelp starts from primary sources, not secondary summaries. We build and check figures directly against gov.uk, HMRC, the Judicial College Guidelines, the Child Maintenance Service, the Information Commissioner's Office, ACAS, and legislation.gov.uk. Where a page cites a specific statutory rate, threshold, or court ruling, that source is named on the page itself.
Each guide carries a "last updated" or "last reviewed" date. When a statutory rate changes — such as the annual redundancy pay cap, National Minimum Wage, or IHT thresholds — we treat that as a trigger to re-check every affected page, not just the one where the change was first spotted.
If you spot a figure that looks out of date or a rule that's changed, please email us — every reported issue is checked against the primary source and corrected if needed, with the update logged on the page.
Important: Brit LawHelp provides general legal information only. We are not a law firm and our content does not constitute legal advice. Always consult a qualified solicitor for advice on your specific situation. For free legal help, contact Citizens Advice or find a solicitor via the Law Society.
