SPOTLIGHT ON COMMITTEES
Welcome to our Spotlights - a section dedicated to the incredible efforts of the in-house pro bono community and those who offer resources to it. We have collected stories from many different organisations, some focusing on our partners, who offer volunteering opportunities to in-house lawyers, and others highlighting the work of large corporates and how they set up their committees and undertake projects.
These stories aim to showcase impactful committees which we hope will serve as an inspiration and guide to other in house teams.
Should we spotlight your committee? Please get in touch! We'd love to hear from you and help share and amplify your story.
