The Birmingham Law Society's Pro Bono committee would like to invite you to their annual pro bono event taking place during Pro Bono Week 2024.
In honour of Pro Bono Week and focusing on the subtheme ‘Barred from Justice’, Birmingham Law Society’s Pro Bono Committee is hosting a special networking event aiming to bridge the gap between pro bono services offered in the legal sector and the needs of the voluntary sector.
This event is aimed at legal clinics, those who do pro bono work and the voluntary sector. Lawyers are invited to attend the event as audience members to learn more about what opportunities are available for law firms to get involved in pro bono work, and facilitate networking.
The event is kindly hosted by Gowling WLG.
