How can my firm meet regulatory requirements when we don't have immigration expertise?

Our experienced immigration lawyers provide the supervision and guidance that you need to carry out this kind of work. However, you may still need a degree of internal supervision as you would with any work. Often a partner will take responsibility so that trainees and paralegals can undertake work as well.

Our National Coordinators will be happy to discuss regulatory requirements with you.

Why get involved?

We support pro bono lawyers so that they can take on a case from start to finish. That means that our pro bono lawyers help a child, young person or their parent prepare and submit an application for citizenship or permission to reside in the UK.
Why we do it

Research estimates that there are over 120,000 undocumented children in the UK. Some of them are British but unable to prove it, many of them have a legal entitlement to British citizenship; even more would suffer human rights violations if they had to leave the UK.
How we do it

Kids in Need of Defense UK partners with law firms and businesses. Their lawyers can then provide free legal representation to children and young people. We call them our pro bono lawyers because they give their time for the public good; not profit.
