A family nonprofit for women unable to access legal aid is growing from ‘humble beginnings’ in a small room to offices in a purpose-built women’s centre in Hull

Affordable Justice founder and director Sue Sedgwick set up the practice in 2016 following cuts introduced by LASPO (the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012). It offers family-friendly hours and is looking for women solicitors in private children matters, divorce and finance, asset separation and domestic abuse.

Sedgwick said: ‘This is an incredibly exciting time for us.

‘The structure of Affordable Justice—a nonprofit Alternative Business Structure with charitable status—has created a self-sustaining commercial entity which can compete with the high street firms in terms of career opportunities and professional development but is also incredibly rewarding.’

The practice helps women across England and Wales.

If interested in working with Affordable Justice, contact Sue Sedgwick at info@affordablejustice.co.uk.
