About Sam Donegan

Dedicated Rights Advisor with a proven track record in providing advice and advocacy on welfare entitlements, debt options, and housing issues. My work involves drafting submissions, compiling evidence, and successfully resolving welfare, debt, and housing cases. My tenure at Strathclyde Law Clinic involved establishing the Climate Justice Project and delivering advice on housing, benefits, consumer, employment and immigration law. My journey has built on a solid academic foundation, having achieved an LLB in Scots Law at the University of Glasgow and an LLM in Human Rights Law from the University of Strathclyde. My background in Human Rights Law and Environmental Law underpins my commitment to empowering individuals and communities. Driven by a passion for promoting access to justice and financial wellbeing, I excel in legal research, public speaking, and case management. My commitment to human rights and environmental sustainability is reflected in my advocacy efforts and my work with various organisations. From representing clients in tribunals, drafting submissions, developing educational materials and facilitating workshops, I strive to empower individuals and communities through informed legal support and public education.
