In response to brutal legal aid cuts, a group of top law firms are preparing to launch a collaborative pro bono project to help those most vulnerable, as well as to lobby for a properly funded system. Alex Newman reports
National Pro Bono Week, which kicks off on 3 November, provides solicitors with an annual reminder of the potential impact of the legal profession outside of normal fee-earning. This year a group of leading firms will use the week to launch a joint pro bono initiative aimed at helping individuals most affected by cuts to legal aid.
