The pro bono philosophy is a very simple idea and one that we should all be proud to be associated with. In a demanding and competitive environment like the City, pro bono work can help to reconnect us with a community that we are often removed from. It can also address a human need to assist others left otherwise uncatered for. Pro bono allows us to pass on something of real value and to remember the higher ethos of why we became lawyers.
Guy, a senior litigation lawyer in Lovells’ commercial litigation department, is one of many City lawyers who regularly provides pro bono advice to people who cannot obtain legal aid and who are unable to represent themselves.
