Solicitors support

No solicitor unsupported in times of need or crisis

SBA The Solicitors’ Charity has been working at the heart of the legal profession for over 150 years.  It is dedicated to helping solicitors both past and present, and their families, who are in serious financial need.

We determine ‘serious financial need’ by using research produced by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Minimum Income Standard.  We can provide grants and interest-free loans (usually secured), support with career transition and access to bespoke personal insolvency advice.  Talk to us, in confidence.
