Mission

Committed to making the criminal justice system fairer for all, Commons Law aims to reset the balance in the legal system where money (or absence of it), ethnicity, age and mental ability can all play a deciding role in the outcome.  Commons Law is staffed by lawyers who trained at some of the UK’s leading law firms. They take a holistic approach to defence – taking into account clients’ underlying social needs and supporting them to improve their overall wellbeing outside of the courtroom. They are working with Migrants’ Law Project on a three-year project to support vulnerable young people with insecure immigration status, who can be specifically disadvantaged by ‘hostile environment’ legislation.  Based in South London, they are the country’s first non-profit Community Interest Company law firm, meaning all profits generated are reinvested into the firm’s mission.
