About us - Corporate social responsibility - Pro Bono

Co-ordinating a structured programme of pro bono activities to give fee earners and trainees the opportunity to provide free legal advice and assistance to those in need.

Working in partnership with LawWorks, the national pro bono charity, to contribute to pro bono activities.  Pro bono work allows employees to utilise and extend their legal skills for the benefit of worthy causes.

Through Bristows' Pro Bono Scheme, our fee earners and trainees will:

  • Advise individuals in a local legal clinic on their personal legal issues
  • Provide specialist advice via email to organisations which represent pro bono clients
  • Help community organisations and not-for-profit organisations with their legal problems 
  • A number of Bristows' employees continue to provide free legal advice to the local community through The Mary Ward Legal Centre and Waterloo Legal Advice Centre.
