OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Some of our best
work is free.

Waterstone Legal was built people-first, and that doesn't stop at the client list. Every month we give time, advice and shoe leather to the communities around our offices — free legal surgeries, pro bono casework, charity wills and sponsored walks. This page is where we keep count, and where you can join in.

OUR MISSION

To put our legal skills where they're needed most — pro bono work that defends rights, promotes equality and opens access to justice.

OUR VISION

A society where no one is priced out of justice, and the law protects dignity and fairness for everyone.

HOW WE GIVE BACK

Not a committee. Named people, real hours.

Social responsibility here isn't a pledge on a poster — it's solicitors giving their own time, month after month. Meet three of them.

Shah Ali
SHAH ALI · SENIOR PARTNER

Where there's a will, there's a way

Writes wills fee-free through Will Aid every November — £3,000+ donated to its partner charities so far.

Holds a free legal surgery at Redbridge Foodbank on the third Saturday of every month — whatever the queue brings.

Oliverta Mediu
OLIVERTA MEDIU · PARTNER

No one priced out of safety

Takes urgent immigration matters pro bono where the need is real and the means aren't.

Volunteers with the British Red Cross, supporting people in crisis.

HASAN FORQAN · LEICESTER OFFICE

Advice without the invoice

Runs free legal workshops from our Leicester office.

Focuses on immigration and debt — the two problems his community raises most.

OUR CHARITY PARTNERS

The causes we show up for

Will Aid
Will Aid

Each November, participating solicitors waive their will-writing fee and invite a donation to Will Aid's partner charities instead. A will for you, a gift for someone else.

NEXT EVENT · HYDE PARK

Walk 5k with us for Solace

We're lacing up for a 5k walk through Hyde Park to raise money and awareness for Solace, whose work helping women and children escape abuse and rebuild their lives leaves us in awe. One morning, one park, one cause — and a coffee together at the finish line.

Walk with us, or sponsor the team from wherever you are. Every donation goes to Solace Women's Aid.
