Pro bono

I’ve assisted a young woman in connection with proceedings a landlord has brought against her for unpaid rent. The background to it is complicated and sensitive, and the entire experience has had a terribly negative impact on her, when she is already quite ‘fragile’ anyway in terms of her mental health. I have been checking in and assisting her – representing her voice, almost. This makes a big difference – you can hear the relief in her own voice, and feel it in her email correspondence.

Legal Director (Commercial Disputes)

Having assisted at a legal clinic during my training contract at law school, but then not being given the platform to continue this work in my newly qualified role at my previous firm, it is hugely refreshing and motivating to be not only given the opportunity but actively encouraged to commit to pro bono work at Cripps.

Nathan Smith

Associate (Private Wealth)

After helping establish a Legal Clinic during my time at University, I knew I wanted to transfer that experience into my career. Cripps’ commitment to Pro Bono allows me and our other professionals to utilise our privileged position to help others.

Being involved in Pro Bono work has been a highlight of my career. Knowing we’re helping someone who truly needs support is incredibly rewarding.

Patricia Harriman

Associate (Commercial Disputes)

I think that pro bono is a great way for those with legal knowledge to use our skills and training in a way that helps others who may not be able to solve their problems alone. It not only benefits the person you are helping, but you also benefit as well.
