Bristol Law Centre has an outstanding reputation for pro bono work and has offered pro bono client services for over 30 years. Many of our volunteers stay with us for 20+ years – showing how committed they are to helping clients. One volunteer won Bristol’s Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year 2018 (read more here).

Pro-bono volunteers are core to our work helping people access justice
Find out moreWe currently run two main services: Bristol Law Clinic and Virtual Law Clinic – visit our family law and employment pages for more information about these services. We also now have a civil litigation offer.
Our services are delivered largely by family and employment law volunteer lawyers – specialists with 2 years PQE (or equivalent) being a solicitor, barrister or chartered legal executive.
Although we provide support for litigants in person (particularly in family cases) and anyone who falls in the gap for current provision; we are building up momentum and contacts to offer new areas of law such as public law, immigration and housing – if you have an interest in any of these areas do get in touch.
