Pro bono
We actively support and facilitate our members’ involvement in pro bono initiatives. Our members provide a huge amount of important free legal advice to individuals, charities and community groups throughout England and Wales, and we work with them to help celebrate and grow this work.

Introduction to pro bono
Pro bono is a vital part of the working lives of many solicitors. It helps people in the UK and abroad get access to justice if they cannot afford legal help.
