Pro-bono

Pro bono activity - providing free legal advice to people and organisations who cannot normally afford it - has been an important part of our contribution to society for many years.  A good number of fee earners are involved in individual pro bono positions.

Nabarro operates a free, weekly legal advice clinic at St. Luke's, Old Street in Islington.  The clinic was brokered by LawWorks, and is being run in conjunction with IPR, a not-for-profit organisation based in Islington, which offers independent advice and representation on all aspects of welfare benefits as well as money advice focused particularly rent or mortgage arrears and debt. The firm's volunteers range from secretaries to partners.           

We have a team providing secretarial support to the Streetwise Community Law Centre in Beckenham. Streetwise provides advice and legal representation for young people aged 11 to 25, and their families.

We also participate in LawWorks for Communities, giving desk-based advice to not-for-profit organisations and have three partners in our Sheffield office who provide mediation services (as accredited mediators) through a separate LawWorks scheme.
