Conference Sneak Peek: Pro Bono in the UK
The 2018 PBI Annual Conference is next month and one of this year’s highlights is a session about pro bono and legal needs in the United Kingdom.
Pro Bono in the UK is designed for law firm attendees who are interested in how to get their UK lawyers involved in pro bono. Join us on February 21, from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., to discuss pro bono opportunities in the United Kingdom. Curious about Brexit? Vaguely familiar with the Collaborative Plan? Concerned about legal aid funding in the UK and what that means for unmet legal needs and priorities? This session will explore these questions and more! We are grateful to our panel of experts who will be sharing their experiences and expertise:
- Rebecca Greenhalgh, Ashurst†
- Suzie Turner, Dechert*
- Paul Yates, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer†
