As a responsible business, we believe it's our duty to help those in need when we have the expertise and resources to do so. That's why we ask all our lawyers to record 25 pro bono hours each year.
Collectively, our lawyers are generating social value in the form of thousands of hours of free legal advice to good causes and individuals. Since 2024, 17 of our lawyers have proudly appeared on the Pro Bono Recognition List – a list recognising lawyers in the UK who have recorded 25 hours or more within a 12-month period.
Our pro bono support aligns with our Responsible Business focus areas. Projects are selected to provide access to justice for our communities, with specific emphasis on promoting inclusion, supporting the arts, and protecting the environment.
Please note that we do not accept direct requests for legal assistance from individuals. If you need legal assistance, we recommend that you contact your local Law Centre, Legal Advice Clinic or Citizens Advice Bureau.
