The firm was formed in 1999, by the Founding Partners: Chris Johnson, Rosaleen Kilbane and Mike McIlvaney. We aim to provide quality legal services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged sections of society who, without our assistance, would be denied access to the legal system and to their rights. We aim to give a personal, expert, efficient and friendly service to our clients.

In September 2015, Craig Keenan and Holly Sherratt joined the partnership, and in April 2018, Nashin Akbar, Samitra Balu and Laura Carter joined the partnership. In addition to the Partners, the firm employs solicitors and highly trained and experienced case-workers. It also takes great pride in its trainee development programme, whereby young graduate lawyers are given the training, guidance and hands-on opportunities to develop into experienced professionals. This legal team is ably supported by an administrative staff of sixteen. Our clients come from a wide range of cultures and ethnicities and our team reflects this rich diversity. We do not act for Landlords – private or public.
