PRO BONO CONNECT

From October 2019, Pro Bono Connect has been under the corporate governance of Lawworks (whilst remaining a joint initiative with Advocate). As part of this, Pro Bono Connect is collaborating with Lawworks to promote, expand and develop the scheme to enhance membership across the country and diversify the areas of law covered... Pro Bono Connect was formed after Jamie Goldsmith (Barrister, One Essex Court) did a number of substantial pro bono cases without solicitor assistance over an extended period of time. He realised that it would be much more efficient and effective if the two halves of the profession worked together as they do for paid work... Pro Bono Connect is run by an executive committee formed of Jamie Goldsmith, Andrew Lodder and Eleanor Campbell (One Essex Court), Valerie Robertson (Law Society), Marika Lemos (Devereux Chambers), Ian Simester (Sullivan & Cromwell) and Emily MacLoud (Etib Lab).
