Pro Bono Week 2022

This year’s Pro Bono Week will discuss how lawyers have coordinated support in response to the crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine, and how best to deliver for future emergencies

More than 300 firms, associations, chambers and charities will host online and in-person events.

Other areas of focus for the week, 7-11 November, are: climate change; the business case for pro bono; remote volunteering; mixing pro bono with funded advice; and secondary specialisation.
