Legal Aid
Legal aid is publicly funded help with legal costs in England and Wales, run by the Legal Aid Agency. Firms hold a separate contract for each category of law they cover, and whether someone qualifies depends on their financial means and the type of case. Pickup & Scott appears in the agency's published data as a provider in the categories below.
Defence representation for people arrested, charged, or facing prosecution, including police station, magistrates court, and Crown Court work.
Criminal legal aid covers the cost of a solicitor when you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or are facing prosecution. The duty solicitor scheme means anyone arrested can ask for a free solicitor at the police station regardless of income, with no means test. Once a case reaches court, eligibility for representation is means and merits tested.

Asylum claims and a limited set of immigration matters where legal aid remains available.
Immigration and asylum legal aid is largely restricted to asylum claims, immigration detention bail applications, trafficking and modern slavery cases, and a narrow set of family reunion matters. Most other immigration work (visa applications, settlement, partner and family routes) is not covered by legal aid since the 2013 reforms. Asylum work remains a substantial area of legal aid; immigration detention work is non-means-tested.

Representation at Mental Health Tribunal hearings and related capacity matters.
Mental Health legal aid covers representation at Mental Health Tribunal hearings, where patients detained under the Mental Health Act can challenge their detention and treatment. It also covers Court of Protection cases concerning deprivation of liberty for people who lack capacity. Representation at tribunal is non-means-tested when challenging detention; other contexts are means tested.
