Join the Greater Manchester Pro Bono Committee, Manchester Young Lawyers, and the Manchester Trainee Solicitors Group at this exciting Pro Bono Week event for young barristers and solicitors. This is an opportunity for early-career lawyers to hear from inspiring speakers, share ideas, and consider their role in advancing access to justice through pro bono work.


Hear from an engaging panel of speakers who, together with audience input, will cover:

  • Experiences of taking on pro bono work as a young lawyer
  • The support on offer to you when taking on pro bono work
  • Practical tips on how to effectively fit in pro bono work alongside a busy, paid practice
  • How pro bono work can benefit your career
  • The impact of pro bono work

Attendees joining us in person are encouraged to stay for networking following the discussion, providing an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and build new connections across the young lawyer pro bono community.

Further information about our speakers will be announced in due course.
