Free legal advice for GPs

Call our advice line for up to 10 minutes of free legal advice for GPs

For many years we have been running, in conjunction with GP magazine, a GP advice line, whereby we offer up to 10 minutes free legal advice in connection with matters relating to issues which GPs encounter in their practice life. 

Enquiries are usually dealt with by telephone contact (dial 020 7839 0278 and ask for the GP advice line).

The advice line service is very useful for the provision of general queries, although it is not possible to answer enquiries of a detailed nature for reasons of potential conflict of interest. It does however serve as a useful guide at an early stage to indicate whether more detailed legal advice should be sought.

More general information relating to other services we offer can be found on our GP page.

    “The team at Hempsons essentially did “what it said on the tin”! They communicated well throughout the team so I could speak to anyone any time rather than waiting for a particular person to be in. I was introduced to the team properly. Billing was clear, fair and done regularly. The advice I received was sensible, measured and calming. When we needed to collaborate with other legal firms who also represented me, Hempsons were inclusive and proactive, definitely “going the extra mile”.”
