Aria Grace Law CIC

What Aria Grace Law CIC does

Aria Grace Law CIC is a London-based Community Interest Company (CIC) law firm founded in 2018 by Lindsay Healy, structured as the world's first equal-pay/equal-profit-share legal practice. The firm offers advisory services across 13+ practice areas including Banking & Finance, Corporate, Commercial, Commercial Property, Employment, Equine Law, Data Protection, Technology & Outsourcing, Intellectual Property, Media Law, Dispute Resolution, Divorce & Family, Art & Luxury Assets, and Compliance Advisory. Its stated client base of 1,000+ spans individuals, SMEs, and enterprise organisations across verticals including technology, financial services, equestrian sport, education, safeguarding, and equine industries. The Equine Law team holds a Band 2 ranking in the 2026 Chambers UK Guide for Sport: Horse Racing & Equestrian.

The firm's business model is structurally distinctive: lawyers retain 90% of fees earned, retired lawyers receive 10% of client fees for life, and 100% of net profits after costs are directed to charitable purposes. Headcount is reported as 38 employees with more than 50 partners, and partners are admitted to practice in over five jurisdictions (England & Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Slovakia). Two legal entities are registered at the same Mayfair address (Aria Grace Law CIC, company number 13927967, and Aria Grace Limited, company number 11421845). There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm is a professional services practice using general business technology to deliver its advisory services. The firm operates from 20 North Audley Street, London, W1K 6WE, and is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number 261522 (Lindsay Healy).

The firm's go-to-market relies primarily on referrals, word-of-mouth, and earned media coverage (including features in The Times in 2019 and 2020 and a Modern Law Awards 2020 shortlist), supplemented by a content-driven blog covering regulatory and sector topics. Distribution is direct: all client engagements are handled via website contact forms, email, and phone, with no reseller or marketplace channels. Charity partnerships with Age UK, Retraining of Racehorses, Spinal Research, and others are embedded in the firm's brand identity and serve as both social-impact fulfilment and reputational marketing. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm has no external funding rounds, and it is not publicly traded.
