Are you a solicitor?

How can you help?

1.    Providing ad-hoc solicitor's support

For professional, insurance and practical reasons, solicitors joining the Unit's panel need to do so through their firm. Once a firm has joined, it is open to any number of members of the firm to indicate individually their agreement to be approached when there is a need for solicitor’s support. In any member firm, a solicitor at partner level is asked to act as a link for the Unit, and there may also be someone nominated to be the first contact point for the Unit. We are extremely grateful to those firms who have already signed up to work with us. Please email the Unit at enquiries@barprobono.org.uk for further information.

2.    Bar in the Community

Find opportunities here to use your skills in a different way. We have charities looking for trustees, debating projects, mentoring schemes and much more. Want to know more? Click here. 

3.    Fundraise for the Unit

The Unit is run entirely by donation alongside core funding from the Bar Council and Inns of Court. You can join in on one of our events or raise money in any number of ways. For more information please don’t hesitate to contact us.
