OUR PRO BONO WORK
Lost Boys is committed to donating 20% of our time and resources to assisting individuals or companies who require our support, but are not in a financial position to pay our usual fees.
If you require our help, please contact us by phone or email. All of our pro bono clients are treated with the same level of professionalism, confidentiality and determination on our behalf.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
Our pro bono services include:
-
Protection of journalistic sources or confidential informants, including the safeguarding of whistle-blowers
-
Supporting Human Rights specialists and other lawyers who become subject to harassment as a result of the high profile cases they are involved in.
-
Defence investigations in wrongful conviction and Death Row cases (This includes working with charities such as Appeal, Inside Justice and the Innocence Project as well as Public Defenders in the US).
-
Malicious accusations and adverse media leading to criminal convictions, reputational or business loss.
-
Crisis Management
-
Locating long lost family members and related familial searches. Including utilising our international coverage.
IF you need LBDA's Support?
-
If you are acting on behalf of a third party, you must provide a statement of their authorisation,
Please consider your own safety in how you contact us. If you require us to contact or meet you covertly, we are capable of doing this (for example, if there are times or locations that are safer for you, or if you require a cover story for us to re-contact you, please highlight these details in any messages you leave us). -
Once we are engaged in a case we will always keep going until we are no longer required. Experience tells us that wrongful convictions and other legal cases can take years to resolve; as such, we only have limited capacity.
-
We rarely take completely cold approaches because of ongoing commitments.
-
You are unlikely to get a reply from an unprompted email approach and we recommend contacting us through your legal representatives or through our known contacts in the first instance.
