LawWorks

This is the website of LawWorks, also known as the Solicitors Pro Bono Group, a charitable organisation dedicated to bridging the gap between volunteer lawyers and individuals seeking legal advice in England and Wales. Established in 1997, LawWorks has been connecting volunteer lawyers with those who need legal assistance but lack the financial means to hire a solicitor.

LawWorks also collaborates with not-for-profit organisations, including charities, voluntary groups, and social enterprises, providing them with much-needed legal support. For small not-for-profit organisations, LawWorks offers a special Not-for-Profits Programme, enabling these groups to access free legal advice on various matters.

One of the programme's features is a series of short online videos, known as “Free Talks”, presented by solicitors. These videos address common legal issues faced by small not-for-profits. Eligible organisations can also benefit from free legal assistance for one-off issues such as contract drafting or lease reviews, as well as longer-term support.

By engaging with LawWorks, you gain access to a wealth of resources that will bolster your legal knowledge and professional development. The organisation’s extensive library of reports, publications, fact sheets, podcasts and training materials ensures you are well-equipped to tackle various legal challenges.

Furthermore, LawWorks provides a platform to connect with like-minded professionals dedicated to pro bono work, allowing you to expand your network and learn from experienced practitioners. The opportunity to contribute to not-for-profit organisations and individuals in need not only enhances your practical skills but also instils a profound sense of purpose and community service.

Moreover, LawWorks recognises outstanding pro bono efforts through the LawWorks and Attorney General’s Student Pro Bono Awards. This accolade underscores the importance of your contributions and showcases your commitment to justice and community support.

I am deeply honoured to have been LawWorks & Attorney General Student Awards 2012 finalist for my blog site: https://artistsvsdeathpenalty.blogspot.com/. This recognition holds great significance for me, particularly as it supports such an important cause—the fight against the death penalty. Each piece of artwork submitted by the participating artists represents not only their individual creative expression but also a collective stand against injustice. I am immensely grateful for this acknowledgement and for the opportunity to raise awareness on this critical issue: https://artistsvsdeathpenalty.blogspot.com/2012/06/lawworks-attorney-general-student.html.

In conclusion, engaging with LawWorks is not just about enhancing your legal career; it’s about joining a movement that values justice, compassion, and social responsibility. Whether you are just starting your journey or are an established legal professional, LawWorks offers a fulfilling avenue to make a significant difference. Embrace this opportunity to grow, connect, and contribute meaningfully to society.
