Get Ready for Pro Bono Week 2023 - The Law Society

The Law Society - Pro Bono Week

Lawyers who help change lives through volunteering free legal help take centre stage at this year’s Law Society Pro Bono Week (6-10 November).

The Law Societies 22^nd annual celebration recognises the outstanding voluntary contribution made by the legal profession across the UK to provide legal advice for those who could not otherwise afford it and who do not qualify for legal aid.

As per the Law Society of England and Wales president, Nick Emmerson, “The Law Society is once again happy to be taking part in a celebration that amplifies those involved in pro bono work and encourages other members of the legal profession to join. Pro bono has a huge impact on the lives of others by ensuring that people have access to justice no matter what their circumstances may be,” 

“This year, the Law Society is hosting an invitation-only roundtable along with LawWorks about our Major Incidents Response Plan – a project that was developed after the Grenfell tower tragedy which aims to provide emergency pro bono aid for those involved in significant incidents. I will be chairing this event and look forward to discussing this important piece of work with key stakeholders.”
