Pro-bono legal support wanted: land and sporting rights

Pro-bono legal support wanted: land and sporting rights

The League Against Cruel Sports is a small animal welfare charity, campaigning to protect animals from cruelty. Part of that work is practical: we own land and hold sporting rights over other land, so that hunting and shooting cannot take place on it and instead the land becomes a safe haven for wildlife.

We're looking for a law firm or individual solicitor/barrister who could offer pro-bono advice on land and property matters, mainly:

• The transfer, assignment or release of sporting rights
• Queries about the scope, ownership and enforceability of sporting rights
• General land ownership questions relating to our property (title, boundaries, covenants, access)
• Occasional review of related documents, such as transfers, leases, licences and correspondence

What we're offering:

• Meaningful work supporting a charity whose land holdings directly protect wildlife
• A named contact and clear instructions, so your time is used efficiently
• Flexibility on how it works, whether that's a set number of hours per year, matter-by-matter, or an ongoing relationship
• Public acknowledgement of your support, if you'd like it

What we're looking for:

• Experience in real estate or land law, ideally including sporting rights, rural property or charity property
• Willingness to take on occasional, mixed-size pieces of work
• Comfort working with a small charity team without a dedicated legal function

 If you or your firm can help, or know someone who might, please get in touch with us at people@league.org.uk.
