The Same Expertise.
Personal Support.

EqualJustice is the personal support service that sits alongside Be Your Best Lawyer. Where BYBL gives you the knowledge to handle your case yourself, EqualJustice gives you direct access to expert guidance, document review, and in-court support.

EqualJustice is run by Eugene Pienaar, a non-practising Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, LLB prize-winner, and MBA with Distinction from Oxford Brookes. He has been in the courtroom himself as a litigant in person, defending a £40 million High Court claim against two counsel and one of the City's oldest law firms.

The combination is deliberate: start with BYBL to understand your case and prepare yourself. If you need more, EqualJustice is there.
