This week we’re celebrating Pro Bono Week which recognises and supports the voluntary contribution made by the legal profession across the UK in giving free legal help to those in need.
Our key pro bono achievements in 2024 include:
- Some of our barristers have been offering their time, skills and expertise to provide pro bono legal advice, drafting and representation to those who need it most.
- Christopher Sharp KC, Jacqueline Humphreys, Zoë Saunders, Sarah Phillimore and Louise Asprey are recognised for their dedication in providing pro bono services in the first ever publication of The Pro Bono Recognition List.
- Rachel Segal has recently represented a family in a 3-day inquest into a tragic neonatal death. Find out more here.
- Members recently attended the event at Burges Salmon to launch the rebranded Bristol Pro Bono Group as the West of England Pro Bono Committee.
- Support the Bristol, Gloucester and Somerset Family Law Advice Clinic.
