Mission Statement
At Legal Lens, our mission is to empower individuals, especially Litigants in Person (LiPs), by providing insightful, impactful legal journalism and resources. We hold power to account, inspire reform, and enhance public understanding of the law within the UK context. Our goal is to be a trusted source for in-depth analysis, investigation, and practical tools that support those navigating the legal landscape.
Our History
Legal Lens was founded in 2024 by John Barwell, an advocate with a deep commitment to justice and transparency. The platform was born out of John’s personal experiences with legal challenges, where he recognized a significant gap in the support available for individuals facing legal issues without professional representation. Legal Lens was established to fill this gap by providing both the necessary legal insights and a robust resource hub to empower individuals in their legal journeys.
Our Approach
At Legal Lens, we are dedicated to accuracy, balance, and impact in everything we do. Our approach involves thorough fact-checking, collaboration with legal experts, and a commitment to transparency. We provide not only news but also the context and implications of legal developments. Additionally, we are developing a comprehensive Legal Resources hub, which includes a Peer Support Network, a Verified Professional Directory, essential tools for LiPs, an AI Chatbot, and an expanding Resource Library—all designed to make the legal process more accessible and less daunting.
The Vision for Legal Lens Resources

- Peer Support Network: Connecting users with experienced guides from legal, financial, and mental health backgrounds.
- Verified Professional Directory: A curated list of trusted legal professionals committed to ethical practices.
