Our Team
Our Mission and Values
Our Mission:
LFLR’s mission is to provide free legal advice and representation for anyone who cannot afford it in Yorkshire, to make sure that all who bring employment law or social security claims have the best possible chance of succeeding.
LFLR also seeks to provide educational opportunities to members of the public and those seeking legal careers, in order to ensure that the legal system remains accessible to everyone regardless of social background or means.
Our Values:
Respect. We treat all clients equally and with respect regardless of background.
Professionalism. We aim to provide the same high standard of client care that would be expected from paid legal service providers.
Ethical Conduct. All LFLR volunteers work to the rigorous ethical standards set by the Bar Standards Board, even though our volunteers are not qualified barristers.
Independence. LFLR operates independently of other organisations and is not affiliated with any political viewpoint. We put our clients first and always provide impartial advice.
Accessible. Everyone deserves access to justice and we will work to ensure that everyone gets to exercise that right, free of charge.
No client will be turned away without good cause or without referral to another person or organisation who would be able to help them.
Clients will always be provided with a full explanation of proceedings, in terms they can understand, so they can fully comprehend the work being undertaken and what to expect.
