Pro-bono and volunteering

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.

On 12 June 2008, Nabarro launched a free legal advice clinic at St. Luke's, Old Street. The clinic was brokered by LawWorks, and is being run under the management of IPR, a voluntary organisation based in Islington, which offers independent advice and representation on all aspects of welfare benefits as well as money advice focussed particularly rent or mortgage arrears and debt. The firm has 70 volunteers, from secretaries to partners, taking part in the scheme.

We are a founding sponsor of the International Lawyers Project, an initiative aimed at resourcing international pro bono opportunities. Along with the other major law firms we are working with ILP in a project to produce and deliver training modules for lawyers in the developing world.
