Chains and independents

Of the 60 legal aid offices and law clinics we hold, 18 (30%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Legal Aid South Africa (18). The other 70% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
