Getting legal help in Brighton

Brighton's legal profession looks like the city. It's mostly small and medium practices, strong in family, employment and property, with long-standing expertise in LGBT family matters and a lot of landlord and tenant work because the private rented sector is so big. There isn't much commercial work, and what there is often goes to London or Gatwick.

Brighton County Court and Family Court are on Edward Street. Crown Court cases are heard a short distance away at Lewes, and the regional Employment Tribunal sits in Brighton.

With a large private rented sector, disputes are common, so housing and landlord and tenant advice is a local specialism worth looking for. Section 21 was abolished in May 2026. Possession now runs through section 8 grounds, and much of the guidance online is out of date. Check that anyone advising you is working from the current rules.

Legal aid in Brighton
