FAQs – Military Law for UK Armed Forces Personnel
We can help every step of the way.
You are entitled to legal advice before and during a Service Police interview. Speaking to a solicitor before interview is strongly advised. What is said at this stage can influence both criminal investigation and administrative action, including Major Administrative Action or discharge. Early advice helps you understand your rights, obligations and the likely consequences of different approaches.
Yes. We provide a 24/7 global legal service for serving personnel, including those based overseas or on deployment. Advice can be given remotely and quickly, allowing you to make informed decisions before any interview or statement.
Service Law operates under a separate legal framework for members of the UK Armed Forces. Investigations, courts and administrative processes are different from the civilian system. Importantly, administrative action can be taken based on risk or conduct, even where no criminal charge is brought. This is why specialist military law advice matters.
Yes. Major Administrative Action can proceed independently of criminal proceedings. In some cases, administrative measures are taken before a charging decision is made. This can affect duties, rank, career progression or continued service. Legal advice should cover both criminal and administrative processes together.
A court martial is a military court that deals with serious offences committed by service personnel. It operates separately from civilian courts and has its own procedures. Outcomes can include imprisonment, reduction in rank, dismissal from service and other sanctions. Early legal representation is critical.
You should seek legal advice immediately. A failed CDT can lead to discharge or serious administrative action. Early advice allows your position to be assessed properly and ensures the process is handled fairly and lawfully.
A Service Inquiry investigates serious incidents connected to service, such as deaths, injuries or significant events. Findings can lead to disciplinary action, administrative measures or further investigation. Legal advice helps ensure statements are handled carefully and your interests are protected throughout the process.
In certain circumstances, veterans may be contacted in relation to Service Inquiries, investigations or legacy matters linked to their service. While not all processes apply post-discharge, early legal advice remains important to protect your position.
Yes. Advice is confidential and provided discreetly. We understand the realities of unit life and the importance of protecting reputation alongside legal position.
As early as possible. If you are contacted by the Service Police, informed of an investigation, facing administrative action or asked to provide a statement, legal advice at that stage can materially affect the outcome.
