| The last decade or so has seen major changes in publicly funded law. Against a backdrop of increasing demand in virtually all areas, changes in the way that legal work is funded has seen many firms dropping out of Legal Aid funded work altogether. Established in 1979, Howells has a long-standing commitment to publicly funded law. Indeed, it accounts for 95% of our income. Over the past 30 years, we have embraced the challenge of running a solving business which not only provides essential services to some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of society, but also maintains a significant number of jobs in South Yorkshire – and now further afield as well. Today, we have fourteen partners and over 160 members of staff. Our Rotherham office was opened in 2004, and the firm became a limited liability partnership in 2006. More recently, our partnership with A4E, a Sheffield-based but national organisation with a strong reputation for delivering government contracts, has enabled us to win contracts to deliver Community Legal Advice Centres in Leicester and Hull, as well as contracts to deliver community legal telephone advice and family law telephone advice nationally.
