Our work in the community
Some of our solicitors give their own time to people who can't easily pay for legal help. That means a free legal surgery at Redbridge Foodbank every month, pro bono immigration work, free workshops in Leicester and wills written for Will Aid.
Who gives their time
Three of the people behind our community work, and what each of them does.
Shah Ali

Oliverta Mediu
Partner — Immigration & Family
Immigration help for people who can't pay
- Takes on urgent immigration cases pro bono (without charge) when the client can't afford to pay.
- Lets clients pay in instalments on compassionate cases, and her team does the same.
- Volunteers with the British Red Cross.
Hasan Forqan
Solicitor Consultant
Free workshops in Leicester
- Runs free legal workshops at our Leicester office.

Walk 5k with us for Solace

You can walk with us, or sponsor the team from wherever you are. Every donation goes to Solace Women's Aid.
Worried about the cost of legal advice?
Come to our free legal surgery at Redbridge Foodbank on the third Saturday of every month. You don't need an appointment and there's no bill. On compassionate cases, you can also ask us about paying in instalments. If we can't help, we'll tell you who can.
