Our focus areas are: Young Lives; Equality before the Law; and Sustainability and Climate Change. We encourage our legal professionals to say YES to one of our many pro bono opportunities!

SUMMARY OF THE THREE PILLARS Y:

S :

Dealing with legal issues relating to our health, our home or our family can be stressful and destabilising. We run pro bono projects that empower young people and their families through pro bono advice so they do not have to navigate the legal system and their legal issues alone.

It is fundamental tenet of our legal system that all people must be equally protected by the law, without discrimination. Our pro bono practice seeks to uphold this principle and to provide legal assistance to those who would otherwise be unable to access justice.

Our pro bono work aims to complement the firm’s Climate Change Risk Practice. Climate Change is a defining issue of our time and one we cannot ignore. It is having catastrophic effects on our environment and, as lawyers, we can help to build a better future by using our legal skills and knowledge to tackle this issue and promote sustainability. We are proud of our trainee-led Climate Change Group which leads the charge on our climate- related pro bono projects.
