About us
A Community Interest Company, built to widen access to justice.
We give ordinary people the structure, preparation, and expertise that institutions already have. Our surplus stays in the mission, by law, not in anyone's pocket.
What that means
The structure isn't a detail. It's the promise.
A Community Interest Company is a legal form for organisations that exist to benefit the community rather than to enrich owners. Two things define ours.
Surplus stays in the mission
Any money we make is reinvested into helping more people. It can't be paid out to shareholders or owners. That's a legal commitment, not a slogan.
A test we keep meeting
To hold CIC status we have to keep demonstrating that our activities benefit the community. Widening access to justice is that purpose.
Accountable by design
As a CIC we report on how we serve our community. The model is built on transparency, advocacy, and inclusion.
Our model
Advisors first, specialists when it counts.
Our advisors provide information, signposting, and structured casework support, and do not carry out reserved legal work. Because our work is part of our community mission, our fees are typically lower than those of a traditional law firm, and we don't charge for individual calls or emails.
Our advisors are legally trained, and some are qualified solicitors. We provide non-reserved legal assistance up until the point your case requires reserved legal work. If we can't resolve your issue before it reaches the litigation stage, we'll refer you to our panel of and or network of solicitors who can take on the litigation work, and we'll continue to support you every step of the wayiạỊạ
SRA Regulated solicitors on referral
Advisors · Panel solicitors · AccountableJustice should be a level playing field, not a privilege.
Ordinary people are too often outmatched by institutions with far greater resources. We exist to close that gap, so a fair outcome doesn't depend on who can afford one.

The first conversation is free, and there's no wrong way to begin.
