What it involves

Taking Kids in Need of Defense UK cases means making a commitment to children and young people who would not otherwise be able to access legal representation.

Once your firm has agreed to partner with us you will be assigned a Kids in Need of Defense UK supervising lawyer. Our expert immigration lawyers provide exclusive support to our pro bono partners, which means that they have the time to guide your lawyers for the duration of a case.

Training sessions are held at your office so that all your lawyers who want to get involved, can.

Once a lawyer is trained, s/he’s ready to take on a case. Pro bono lawyers work in pairs to make sure there’s always someone available.

Your Kids in Need of Defense UK supervising lawyer will attend client appointments with your pro bono lawyers until they’re ready to go it alone.

Pro bono lawyers are also provided with template documents and legal resources to help them through the process.
