Get involved

Pro bono legal advice can make a difference across a spectrum of needs: from understanding a form or letter, to case work and court representation.

You can make a difference

Any lawyer has the ability (with the right temperament and commitment) to do pro bono that makes a difference - whether you are a lawyer in private practice, or an in-house lawyer working for a company, charity or for local or central government.

You may have legal expertise or knowledge which can help an individual, or a charity or not-for-profit organisation resolve a legal problem.

What you definitely will have is valuable training, skills and aptitudes which are readily translatable to real-life situations and problems – for example: the ability to explain a letter or form; to help someone understand what facts may be most relevant to their problem; or to draft a letter to, for example, to an employer.
