Maugham is on the Board of The Good Law Project, a not-for-profit campaign organisation that uses the law to protect the interests of the public.

One of the organisation's stated aims is to litigate to force the Government to "become more vigorous in tackling avoidance and evasion", however Maugham has himself represented corporate interests in cases against HMRC, including Eclipse Film Partners No.35 LLP a case regarding the distribution of certain Walt Disney Films and Tottenham Hotspur Limited.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom the government appointed people closely connected to Conservative politicians to influential positions without interview process or open competition, and awarded contracts worth billions of pounds to companies, many without relevant experience. Examples include appointing Dido Harding, wife of a Conservative MP, to head the new National Institute for Health Protection, and awarding a contract for more than £250m of personal protective equipment to a Florida-based jewellery company, with a £21m payment to a middleman, without advertisement or competitive tender process. Maugham and the Good Law Project challenged the "culture of cronyism and the highly secretive use of billions of pounds of public funds".
