UK Top 50 law firm Birketts is pleased to announce it is now a signatory of the Law Works pro bono protocol.
The protocol, which is endorsed by the Law Society, the Bar Council and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, was developed to promote and support consistently high standards of pro bono work in the UK and provides clear guidance on the core values associated with such work.
Signing up to the protocol demonstrates the firm’s ongoing commitment to helping our local communities. In 2023/24 Birketts provided more than 1,210 hours of pro bono legal advice.
James Dinwiddy, Partner at Birketts said: “The protocol sits alongside our professional code of conduct and serves as a framework for Birketts to adhere to when devoting ourselves to pro bono work. The firm is committed to supporting our local communities in many ways, and whilst providing pro bono legal support is already one of the key avenues that we achieve this, over the next year, and beyond, we are aiming to provide even more support.”
