A McKenzie Friend is an individual who assists a litigant in person (a self-represented party) during court proceedings in England and Wales. The term originates from the 1970 case McKenzie v McKenzie, where the Court of Appeal recognized the right of an unrepresented party to receive reasonable assistance from a layperson.
Moral Support: Providing emotional reassurance during stressful proceedings.
Administrative Assistance: Organizing documents, taking notes, and managing case files.
Procedural Guidance: Helping the litigant understand court processes, etiquette, and timelines.
Quiet Advocacy: Offering discreet suggestions (e.g., drafting questions for witnesses).
A Mckenzie Friend cannot speak directly to the court, advocate on behalf of the litigant, or provide legal advice.
Permission from the judge is required for the Mckenzie Friend to address the court.
While any layperson can act as a McKenzie Friend, engaging a professional service ensures:
Expertise: Knowledge of court rules, procedures, and documentation.
Impartiality: Objective guidance free from emotional bias.
Confidentiality: Strict adherence to data protection laws (GDPR).
Cost-Effectiveness: A fraction of the cost of full legal representation.
Our firm provides tailored, ethical support for litigants navigating family law, civil disputes, employment tribunals, and more.
Document Management: Organizing evidence, witness statements, and bundles.
Case Strategy: Helping structure arguments and identify key legal points.
Form Drafting: Assisting with court forms (e.g., Form E in financial remedy cases).
Note-Taking: Recording critical points from hearings or opposing counsel.
Real-Time Guidance: Discreetly highlighting procedural steps or judicial queries.
Post-Hearing Debrief: Reviewing outcomes and next steps.
Virtual Consultations: Guidance via video call for clients unable to attend in person.
Email Support: Timely responses to procedural queries.
