Contact Us
Crown Law provides legal services to the Government and to government departments.
We can't provide legal services, including advice and representation, to members of the public. If you contact us asking for our advice or for our lawyers to represent you, you may not hear back from us.
If you are an individual or represent a non-government organisation looking for legal services, there are some organisations that may be able to help you listed at the bottom of this page.
Warning: Documents submitted for service require Crown Law’s confirmation that they have been received for service. Sending documents to the General Enquiries mailbox does not constitute formal service or mean that the documents have been served. Any documents submitted will be directed to the appropriate team to consider and they will advise whether or not service is accepted.
