The list shows the most complete records first: entries with a phone number and a street address come before those without, so you have something you can act on straight away.

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.
