Lawyers for Nature is a Community Interest Company (CIC). We represent the interests of Nature and the Natural world. Our only client is Nature. In order to represent the interests of Nature and keep it at the heart of our work, we do not provide legal advice to other clients for their benefit, however we work closely with a number of solicitors firms and barristers chambers and can refer you to them for legal or regulatory advice as and when required.
We are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority nor the Bar Standards Board. We are not considered to be a law firm. If our barristers or solicitors hold practicing certificates in their own names we will make this clear to you when we engage with you on projects.
Where our people engage with regulated legal advice they will be working via their own chambers or law firm and therefore insured via their chambers or their law firm. They will discuss this with you directly during your introductory meeting. Where we are doing non-regulated work, Lawyers for Nature will use its own business insurance to cover the work.
Where our people engage with regulated legal advice they will be working via their own chambers or law firm aWe are not a charity and are not regulated by the Charity Commission. Furthermore, we are not a regulated law firm or a barrister’s chambers. We are a collective of solicitors, barristers and advocates who work on behalf of the natural world in many different ways.
Our barristers cannot take direct instructions via Lawyers for Nature. However many of them are Direct Access barristers and where they are not direct access qualified we can engage one of our collaborating law firms to give them instructions.
Many of our solicitors work in law firms and we can advise you on a case by case basis how to instruct them. Some of our solicitors are ‘non-practicing’. This means they do not hold a current practicing certificate and cannot therefore conduct regulated legal work. We will make this clear to you on an individual basis or you can look at the team bios on the About Us page for more information.
