❗️Under the Pro Bono Expert Support scheme, lawyers can now request pro bono help from a costs lawyer to draft the schedule of costs for them 👏

Did you know that you can apply for pro bono costs orders?
Applying for pro bono costs helps ensure that there are equal adverse costs risks for all parties which can help encourage reasonable litigation conduct and settlement. Plus, successful applications provide vital funding for future free legal help.
Have a look at the Access to Justice Foundation's guide to find out more⬇️

🖊️ In our final #ProBonoWeek blog, @WeAreAdvocate Vice Chair Sarah Abram KC discusses the charity's work, acting as the matchmakers of the pro bono world.
Sarah also explores how undertaking pro bono gave her a lot of ‘firsts’ in her career, from cross-examining a witness to speaking in the European Court of Justice.
"The first time I cross-examined a witness was a case for Advocate – in which I learned to write the name of the person you’re cross-examining in very large letters on every page of your notes in case you forget it in the heat of the moment…"

❓How can your organisation embed pro bono?
👩💼Kate Wheeler from @leathesprior gained valuable early-career experience through the Skills Exchange, honing her skills and accelerating her growth, while helping local charities, too!

ALT Photo of Kate Wheeler with quote: "Skills Exchange work is more community and people-focused, which I feel is very important work to do. Skills Exchange has introduced me to a range of clients who I would not normally have the pleasure of working with. It has also allowed me to work on projects within areas I would potentially not have encountered so early in my career which has helped broaden my exposure to commercial property matters and allowed me to develop my personal and legal skills." Kate Wheeler, Solicitor at Leathes Prior Solicitors
