Does something feel unfair or wrong but you don’t think you have a legal basis to stand up for yourself? It probably is wrong and you might have a claim in equity.

For example, you may not have an interest in a property but it may be held for you on an ‘resulting trust’ or ‘constructive trust’ without you even knowing it. So, if it feels wrong, it probably is, and we can probably help.
