Duncan Lewis are one of a limited number of firms across the UK that have been awarded with Legal Aid contracts to offer community care services in 14 offices across the UK for the next three years. The firm have secured contracts in 14 offices spanning the UK in the areas; London, the South, South West, East and West Midlands, Wales, Merseyside, North West, North East and Yorkshire & Humberside.

In a difficult time for clients being able to procure Legal Aid, Duncan Lewis are pleased to report that they will continue to provide publicly funded specialist community care work to the most vulnerable clients who qualify. The new contracts will enable us to continue to represent vulnerable clients across the UK, in a range of community care matters including judicial review cases against social services, NHS and UKBA and in Court of Protection cases.

Ravinder Brar, Director of Duncan Lewis Community Care department said: “It can be extremely difficult for vulnerable and disabled clients affected by outcomes of public bodies streamlining their services, to challenge such decisions, especially with fewer firms doing legal aid work, so we are extremely pleased to have secured the community care contracts across the country to enable us to continue to represent the interests of these individuals.”
