How can we help you

We know that the law, in the right hands, can be a fair and decent force for good. It is a practical tool for positive change and can make amazing things happen.

Use the law to build a better, fairer and greener future

If the law is only available to the rich it becomes a tool of the rich – something only they can use to embed their wealth and their power. We want everyone to be able to use the law. Here are some of the ways we can help.

The cases we take

We want to use the law to hold power to account, tackle the climate crisis and uphold the rights of the most marginalised groups.

We look for cases with legal merit and campaigning potential that speak to our values and bring closer the world we want.

When we take a case we will generally meet all the legal costs of bringing that case and cover the costs if it loses. And we will drive – across social media, direct mail and in the traditional media – the campaign that runs alongside the case.

Although these criteria sound broad they are quite narrow. So we don’t bring that many cases ourselves.
