One of PILA's ongoing objectives is to develop pro bono initiatives to match legal expertise with the legal needs of NGOs working with marginalised and disadvantaged people. Through their lawyers' register PILA involves practitioners in public interest law through e.g. legal education, legal advice, legal research, law reform submissions, case-work.
We would be delighted to hear from practitioners in all areas of work and in particular those with expertise in any of the following: charities; corporate governance; employment; equality; family; housing; human rights; immigration and asylum; landlord and tenant; mental health; public law; and social welfare.
If you practise within a law firm or in-house we would be delighted to discuss pro bono opportunities of interest to your firm or company.
If you are interested in this opportunity to apply your legal skills in a new context, please contact PILA's Legal Officer, Jo Kenny, at jo.kenny@flac.ie.
