Our work
In covering the three main fields of work: public, environmental and community projects,
we seek to ensure that our services are affordable. Often this is achieved with
legal aid. Sometimes more flexible funding arrangements may be required.
We also facilitate self-help and provide support where individuals may be able safely
to achieve their own solutions.

Our public law work covers the many situations in which citizens encounter
public authorities.
Often, but not always, the appropriate remedy is an application to the High Court
for a judicial review of the decision in question.
Such work comes within the scope of our legal aid franchise and if they are eligible our clients
receive public funding by the Legal Services Commission.
However, mediation and negotiation can equally bear fruit.
Our cases have included:
- special needs education
- entitlement to benefits
- access to community care
- the funding of council services.

|
Our environmental law work is very extensive and takes in all aspects of the law:
planning, pollution control, wildlife and habitat protection, and environmental impact assessments.

-

Our community project work is a growing aspect of our practice.

which they can organise themselves towards a common goal -
constitutions, incorporation, charitable status, leases and licences.
