Legal Services for SSTA Members
Free Legal Advice
As an SSTA member, you are entitled to up to 30 minutes of free legal advice on any matter from an expert solicitor.
Workplace Accidents, Injuries & Illnesses
Every employee has the right to a safe working environment. While accidents can occur, employers are legally required to minimise risks and protect their employees.
If you’ve been injured at work through no fault of your own, your SSTA membership gives you access to Scotland’s leading personal injury solicitors, ensuring you receive the support and representation you deserve.
Your SSTA Membership Includes:
- Expert legal advice to safeguard your rights at work
- Access to award-winning solicitors specialising in workplace accident claims
- 100% compensation – no deductions from your settlement

Accidents, Injuries, and Illnesses Outside of Work
Our legal scheme covers all non-work-related accidents and injuries, including:
- Road traffic accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls in public spaces such as streets, shops, and leisure facilities
- Accidents abroad
This service is available to both you and your immediate family.
Comprehensive Road Traffic Assistance
We offer an exclusive road traffic legal service that provides superior benefits – free of charge – when compared to typical motor insurer legal expenses schemes.
If you’re involved in a non-fault accident, we will:
- Arrange roadside vehicle recovery and transport to an approved repair centre
- Oversee the repair process to ensure swift resolution
- Handle all communications with insurers
- Provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle during repairs
- Recover all associated losses, including wage loss, injury compensation, policy excess, and property damage
This service eliminates the need for separate legal expenses insurance, saving you and your family money every year.
Discounted Family Law & Conveyancing Services
SSTA members receive discounts on expert legal services for family law and property transactions, negotiated on your behalf.
Free Will Writing Service
Having a legally sound Will is essential in today’s complex financial and family landscape. As an SSTA member, you can have your Will prepared completely free of charge. Visit ThompsonsWill.com
Please note: The free Will service covers a basic Will. If your circumstances require a more complex Will – such as those involving trusts, multiple properties, or detailed estate planning – additional fees may apply. However, SSTA members will receive an exclusive discounted rate for these services.
Executry & Bereavement Service
In Scotland, handling the estate of a deceased loved one requires legal assistance and a court process. Unlike most firms, we provide this service to all SSTA members and their families at an extremely competitive rate, ensuring expert support and guidance during this difficult time. Our experienced solicitors will handle the legal complexities efficiently and professionally, giving you peace of mind when you need it most.
Legal Services Extended to Immediate Family
As an additional benefit, your immediate family members can also access the following services:
- Non-work-related accident, injury, and illness claims
- Comprehensive road traffic legal assistance
- Fixed-rate executry and bereavement support
Your Legal Protection – Simplified & Cost-Free
With our legal services, you receive expert advice, representation, and support, ensuring you and your loved ones are protected without unnecessary legal expenses.
