In some matters we act as an organisation, making representations, providing or seeking information, or challenging the conduct of public authorities, companies, organisations or individuals. UKLFI Ltd is not a regulated provider of legal services and cannot provide legal services that are reserved to regulated providers, such as litigation. However, it can recommend appropriate regulated providers where necessary or desirable.

Alternatively, we may encourage members or supporters, as individual members of the public, to make representations, provide or seek information, or challenge conduct. In this case, members or supporters are acting on behalf of themselves, not for any client.

Sometimes we recommend a member or supporter or other lawyer with a view to him or her acting on a professional basis for a particular client, either pro bono or under an appropriate fee arrangement. If the recommended lawyer agrees to act, he or she is responsible for complying with applicable professional rules and obligations to his or her employer or partners.

In other cases, members or supporters may provide assistance on a non-professional basis, provided professional rules are observed and the recipient of the help is aware of its non-professional nature.
