Our attorneys are encouraged to work on a variety of individual projects to help those who need it most, this includes Mothers2Mothers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing mother to child transmission of HIV by providing education and support for pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV. The London office commitment to pro bono has seen it average the highest number of pro bono hours per attorney in the UK, according to the Trustlaw Index of Pro Bono survey, published by The Lawyer in 2016.
