Our impact
Since March 2023, Law for Change has supported over 68 cases, advancing access to justice and driving real-world change in the public interest.
Our tried and tested approach
Law for Change empowers law firms and NGOs to take on more public interest cases by reducing the financial risks associated with them.
Our high-impact approach includes indemnification against adverse costs, providing critical and timely financial backing. This ensures that vital cases - which might otherwise never proceed - have the support they need to move forward.
We focus on cases that deliver impact
We focus on cases with clear social value, particularly those that benefit communities with limited access to justice. We want to support cases that can give rise to benefits for a significant number of people – in the form of a change or clarification to the law, or the policies of public bodies.
We’ve funded cases covering a range of different issues - from employment rights to environmental protections, from protecting access to public services to challenging discrimination faced by marginalised communities.
Historic Wins and Prominent Successes
What Our Partners Say
“Law for Change has a formidable track record of backing some of the UK’s most significant public interest legal actions. Its work exemplifies how philanthropists can support legal action to drive social change and increase access to justice.”
— Fran Perrin, Philanthropist and Founder of Indigo Trust
“Disrupt has supported Law for Change since 2022 helping establish it as a unique infrastructural resource for funding public interest litigation. It has meant that cases across multiple fields can be explored, researched and litigated based on their merit and benefit to society. Without this funding many crucial cases could never have proceeded at all.
A standout feature of Law for Change is its diverse legal panel which provides a very high level of expertise and experience in each of the relevant fields, ensuring the best possible use of funds.’.’’
