MS Legal Officer The MS Society has worked in partnership with the Disability Law Service (DLS) for some years. As a result of this partnership the MS Society now funds a dedicated Legal Officer, based at DLS, who will be the first point of contact for people affected by MS who are seeking legal advice. The Legal Officer will respond to enquiries, whether by telephone, e-mail or letter, and will be able to assist with questions about community care and disability discrimination in employment, access to goods, facilities and services and education. The Legal Officer will provide information, and where appropriate arrange access to DLS legal practitioners. The MS Legal Officer can be contacted on 020 7791 9826. The DLS e-mail address is advice@dls.org.uk. The DLS address is 39-45 Cavell Street, London E1 2BP
