Wales
The Legal Services Commission (LSC) is responsible for administering legal aid and providing two important public services, the Community Legal Services (CLS) and the Criminal Defence Service (CDS).
Paul Davies is the Regional Director responsible for the provision of both civil and criminal legal aid in Wales. The Commissioner for Wales is Tom Jones.
Legal aid helps some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Welsh communities. The LSC in Wales has invested over £75m per annum in developing the Community Legal Service and the Criminal Defence Service to help people get quality legal services that tackle real needs. People assisted in Wales this year are estimated to be 55,000.
Legal aid in Wales is managed by our Cardiff office.
