Legal Services
CWU Legal Services working to protect you and your family.
Introduction to the department and services
CWU provides a range of legal services and benefits that are
available to all members via the Legal Services Department in
partnership with our Approved Panel Solicitors.
We specialise in providing advice and representation in personal injury compensation claims and employment tribunal applications. Members can use the services confident in the knowledge that we have the necessary expertise to ensure the best possible result when processing such claims. This is a totally free service.
Members who require any of our services should contact their local branch representative in the first instance who will be able to assist them with their initial enquiry.
We are continually looking at ways to improve and expand the range of services we provide which makes being a member of the CWU so beneficial and worthwhile.
