LawWorks believes that while pro bono is not, and should not become, an alternative to legal aid – it makes an important contribution to accessing legal information, advice and representation.
By joining LawWorks for free, your law firm can become part of a network of 150 law firms, in-house teams and organisations committed to providing access to justice for the most vulnerable in our communities.
