DARA is a legal collective project founded by Sam Cottman, Director of Pro Bono at Travers Smith.

DARA pro bono lawyers from across a number of law firms represent individuals who are not eligible for legal aid but who cannot afford to pay for private representation. Lawyers provide clients with help, support and representation from the outset to the conclusion of their court proceedings seeking protective injunctions against their abuser, providing an invaluable resource to help survivors who would otherwise be at huge risk.

DARA sits within LawWorks' and takes referrals from the National Centre for Domestic Violence. It is supervised by leading specialist family law firm, Beck Fitzgerald.

Treebeard provides multi-year unrestricted funding to DARA.
