The Community Law Partnership (CLP) is a radical, progressive firm of
solicitors specialising in the law relating to Housing and Public Law.

The The Community Law Partnership was formed in 1999 by its current Partners: Chris
Johnson, Rosaleen Kilbane and Mike McIlvaney. We aim to provide quality
legal services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged sections of
society who, without our assistance, would be denied access to the legal
system and to their rights. We aim to give a personal, expert,
efficient and friendly service to our clients.
In addition to the
Partners, the firm employs solicitors and highly trained and experienced
case-workers. It also takes great pride in its trainee development
programme, whereby young graduate lawyers are given the training,
guidance and hands-on opportunities to develop into experienced
professionals. This legal team is ably supported by an administrative
staff of thirteen. Our clients come from a wide range of cultures and
ethnicities and our team reflects this rich diversity.
We have a highly successful
track-record, often in ground-breaking cases. We were finalists for the Legal Aid Law Firm of
the Year Award 2011. In 2012, Rosaleen Kilbane won the Legal Aid Lawyer
of the Year Award in the social and welfare law category and the
practice was judged Law Firm of the Year (sole practitioners and firms
up to four partners) by Birmingham Law Society.
