Our firm has a long-standing and proud tradition of providing pro bono legal services. We are committed to using our legal skills and insight to improve access to justice.

Our impact-driven pro bono practice assists people who have experienced disadvantage and inequity, and the organisations that support these communities.

We work with our pro bono clients in the following ways:

• Casework and free legal clinics to promote access to justice.
• Advising NGOs, charities, social enterprises, social impact funds across all areas of our firm’s capabilities.
• Secondments to charities and community legal centres to amplify their impact.
• Legal education and training to build capacity across the for-purpose sector.
• Strategic litigation, policy and law reform projects to promote systemic change.

Drawing on the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer values, our pro bono practice strives to be:

• Human-centered in our approach.
• Bold in our choices.
• Outstanding in the eyes of our pro bono clients.
