	About us Pierce Glynn is a firm of solicitors founded in 1997. We are based in central London but we work for individuals and organisations from across the UK and beyond. Our work We specialise in two areas of law: Public law, discrimination and human rights – with a particular focus on acting in judicial review proceedings across a broad range of subject areas from healthcare to planning and environmental cases, and from unlawful detention case to cases about public sector procurement and funding cuts. Social welfare law – in particular housing, community care and social security law. We have nationally recognised expertise in both areas (for example, see our entries in the two leading legal directories: Chambers and Partners 2009 and the Legal 500). Many of our solicitors are ‘leaders in their field’, with extensive experience of conducting high-profile test cases and related campaigning work (see Latest Cases). However, we are equally committed to conducting less high-profile but equally important work for individuals, particularly those from marginalised groups. Our clients Our objectives are to promote social, economic and environmental justice, to prevent the abuse of power by public bodies, and to promote access to justice. To that end we only act for individuals, campaign groups, NGOs and charities. We pride ourselves on offering a high level of care and support to all our clients: welcoming them to our offices, taking account of their needs, and providing clear advice throughout their cases. We receive excellent feedback from our clients and from the referral agencies and campaign groups that we work with. Instructing us If you contact us we will ask for some basic details about your case to help us work out whether we have the capacity and the expertise to help you. We will also talk to you about funding your case. If your case is urgent we will tell you immediately whether we can help you, otherwise we usually let you know the following day. Unfortunately the demand for the services we provide is very high and we are not able to help everyone who contacts us. However, if we cannot help we will do our best to refer you to someone who can. Environmental policy Pierce Glynn operates an environmental policy which aims to reduce the impact of our activities on the environment, for example by using recycled materials in the office, limiting energy consumption and travelling by bicycle or public transport wherever possible. How we are regulated Our service is provided by solicitors of England and Wales. Pierce Glynn is regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA). Our SRA number is 262720.
