LawWorks is a national charity which aims to provide free legal help through pro bono assistance to individuals and community groups who cannot afford to pay for it and who are unable to access legal aid.
In the last year LawWorks helped provide free legal advice to over 45,000 people and around 350 voluntary sector organisations. We work with just over 100 member law firms and teams of in-house counsel, as well as mediators, law students and solicitors who have been made redundant.
LawWorks Choices was initially set up in 2009 to help redundant lawyers find pro bono work, enabling them to retain their skills while providing vital assistance to individuals and community groups. Over 600 individuals have joined, and contributed over 3000 hours of pro bono help. LawWorks is now extending the Choices project to other lawyers who are not currently practising.
