This emanated from the escalating costs of engaging services of private attorneys, which placed a great deal of the population at the risk of not affording access to justice.nnFrom humble beginnings in 2004, today Legal Guard boasts of the largest number of in-house attorneys to service the client base of over 60,000. The 5 internal attorneys serving the country-wide branch network provide advisory services to individual clients, and they are assisted by a panel of 29 external law firms to whom matters are referred for litigation should the need arise.n
