Affordable Legal Services in Rochdale
Established in 2011, Rochdale Legal Enterprise (RLE) emerged in response to government cuts to legal aid, aiming to provide accessible legal services in immigration, asylum, and employment law. As a not-for-profit community interest company regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, we collaborate with Rochdale Law Centre to deliver affordable legal advice while reinvesting surplus income into charitable work. Our team of specialist solicitors and caseworkers, including Law Society Accredited professionals, offer expertise in complex immigration cases, employment disputes, and tribunal representation.With multilingual capabilities in Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, and Gujarati, we serve clients across Rochdale, Oldham, Bury, Calderdale, Bolton, Salford, and Manchester. Despite temporary limitations in employment law services due to maternity leave, we maintain competitive pricing, including free initial consultations and 'no win no fee' options. Our commitment to transparency ensures no hidden charges, while our community-focused model bridges gaps in access to justice caused by reduced public funding.
