Simon's story
“There is a huge amount of engagement with the pro bono programme across the firm. I have been involved since I was a trainee. I spent three months in our Chicago office on secondment. While there, I became involved with an organisation called the Public International Law and Policy Group, or PILPG, which is a global pro bono law firm providing free legal assistance to states and governments involved in conflicts.
I’ve continued that involvement back here in London, where I am on the Pro Bono Committee. The Committee promotes pro bono within the firm, draws up the strategy and identifies suitable clients. Initiatives include providing trademark advice for Save The Children, staffing a free employment law helpline and representing the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the supreme court."
