SPOTLIGHT SERIES

Welcome to our Spotlight Series - a page dedicated to the incredible efforts of the in house pro bono community and those who offer resources to the community.  These stories aim to showcase impactful committees and projects which we hope will serve as an inspiration and guide to other in house teams.

Should we spotlight your committee, project or organisation? Be in touch! We'd love to hear from you and help share and amplify your story.
