About this event

LawWorks’ third Clinics Network Conference will be a live online event bringing together clinic coordinators, supervisors and volunteers from different organisations and specialisms as well as the wider advice sector.

This year’s conference will be an opportunity to reflect on an extremely challenging year and move our focus to looking ahead and helping to build a strong pro bono community that continues to deliver much needed services in the 'new normal' future.

We are pleased to announce that Baroness Falkner of Margravine, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, will deliver a keynote address. There will also be panel discussions about

  • Engaging volunteers: leveraging lessons learned to help shape clinics
  • Pro bono clinics in a pandemic and beyond - sharing learning from global perspectives
  • Holistic approaches to pro bono, a focus on delivering advice in partnership with healthcare settings
  • Structural inequalities, the pandemic and the advice sector

As well as opportunities to network, and get a first look at our 2020 Clinics Network Report.

Further information, including a full programme, can be found at the LawWorks website.

We hope that you will join us to gain inspiration, share your knowledge, and build new connections.

Once registered, you will receive further information about the event and link to join the conference.

Organised by

LawWorks (the Solicitors Pro Bono Group) is a charity which encourages, supports and celebrates pro bono by solicitors, law schools and law students across England and Wales. We are supported by the Law Society and by over 100 members, including international and City firms, regional, medium and small firms, and in-house solicitors and their organisations.

The focus of our work is on supporting and developing local independently run pro bono advice clinics and also connecting smaller charities and not-for-profit organisations in need of free legal advice with pro bono volunteers from amongst our membership.

We support pro bono clinic volunteers and our members with training, networking opportunities and a range of online resources and materials. Our Annual Pro Bono and Student Awards recognise and celebrate the pro bono work of our members, partner organisations, law schools and law students.
