NGOs and Trade Unions
What we offer NGOs and trade unions
Bindmans has been working with campaigning organisations - large and small, national and local - for more than 30 years.
We offer cutting-edge legal expertise, combined with cost-effectiveness. With our longstanding history of civil liberties work, we share your organisation’s commitment to fair treatment and protecting the rights of individuals.
We can offer NGO clients everything from employment law advice, to checking campaign material for possible defamation, to bringing test cases to clarify new areas of law. We are experienced at working in partnership with activists and pressure groups, where the legal case is just one strand of a wide-ranging campaign for change. We are particularly experienced in assisting NGOs to make third party interventions in existing legal proceedings, to make sure the courts have a complete picture of the legal issues and the importance of the case.
Bindmans has the biggest team of dedicated human rights lawyers in the country; our expertise in this vital and evolving area of law cannot be beaten. The breadth of our experience means we can ensure all aspects of a case are fully explored to find the most complete and effective legal solution. We are experienced at bringing group actions and are known for getting good results in ground-breaking areas of law. We regularly take cases all the way to the House of Lords.
Our lawyers are accessible and flexible. They work collaboratively, and will tailor their service according to your needs and budget. Where required, we can provide bespoke training for your staff and volunteers in the working of new legislation.
Bindmans’ key services for NGO clients are shown below. However, where a case demands it, we can draw on expertise from colleagues across the entire firm to ensure you receive a seamless and comprehensive service.
