City, University of London is delighted to announce a new pro bono partnership with Hodge Jones and Allen (HJA) who will join the City Community Legal Advice Centre (CityCLAC) to provide free legal advice to members of the public on personal injury cases.

The new CityCLAC opened in September 2022, and has gone from strength to strength since it opened in bespoke offices in the new Law School building in Sebastian Street.

Daniel Denton, a Partner in the Serious Injury Team at HJA, has worked in the field for over 20 years, advising claimants on accidents at work and in public places, road traffic accidents, and defective product claims.

He has a wealth of experience in handling cases where the client has suffered life-changing injuries. In particular, Daniel has a special interest in amputation cases, brain/head injuries, and serious orthopaedic and psychiatric conditions. He also has a vast amount of experience in representing bereaved families and friends who have lost a loved one through negligence.

Clients can approach the service by filling in an online enquiry form, calling 020 040 5415 or emailing clac@city.ac.uk.

Daniel said:

I am delighted that HJA are partnering with the City Community Legal Advice Service who share our strong ethos of providing access to justice to members of the public.
The clinic allows the member of the public to obtain 30 minutes free legal advice on any personal injury matter. I am particularly excited to be working with the City, University of London students and sharing my knowledge and experience with them.

Trained City law school student advisers will assist in the service by interviewing clients, and drafting letters of advice.

The Director of City Community Legal Advice Centre / Solicitor, Sally Gill said:

I'm so proud of this new partnership with HJA, such a renowned firm who puts at its heart "fighting for what's right". Our values very much align and we hope the partnership will continue to grow.
