About TLC 

The Trans Legal Clinic is the first trans-led specialist gender identity legal practice and registered charity in the UK. The mission of the Trans Legal Clinic is simple; we provide free and accessible legal help to transgender and non-binary people in need. Our overarching vision is a society where all people have access to the legal resources required for gender self-determination and where gender diversity is not just accepted but embraced, with trans* people equipped with the necessary legal tools to navigate the world in their affirmed gender. 

Service Introduction 

The Casework department is the core of our organisation, working directly with clients by offering them support and advocacy. We have assisted over 70 clients since October 2023 and will be re-opening our referrals in January 2025 to new clients seeking our support.

Housing and Homelessness

Our Discrimination casework team defends our clients’ right to live free from discrimination and unfair treatment. The team may work on cases of discriminatory practices in employment, education, access to housing, and access to healthcare. As discrimination often intersects with other legal issues, this team collaborates with our other casework teams to provide holistic support to clients throughout their journey with TLC.
