What We Do
The Good Law Project uses the law to deliver a progressive society.
We bring strategic legal cases to change how the law works and to drive demand for further law change. We use the debate generated by cases to engage and educate.
The Good Law Project is funded by monthly donations from you, our members. It’s your country – only you can improve it.

In the news
ITV report: “ITV News has learned Uber faces another legal challenge, this time for alleged tax avoidance. Jo Maugham QC, founder of The Good Law Project, plans to sue the company for non-payment of VAT.
Maugham argues Uber should be charging VAT on the taxi services it offers. Maugham calculates the company’s tax liability for London alone in 2015 at just under £20 million. He is pursuing the money on behalf of the taxpayer.”
