About LawWorks

It is committed to providing access to justice through free legal advice by:

• promoting, facilitating and developing pro bono across the solicitors’ profession and at law schools in England and Wales
• facilitating and supporting pro bono legal services and access to justice for people in need and without the means to pay
• connecting smaller charities and not-for-profit organisations – supporting communities and people in need – with pro bono legal services and enabling them to deliver their mission
• advocating for policy change to address barriers to pro bono and working collaboratively to improve access to justice

We’ve been a major funder of LawWorks since 2011.
