We look for opportunities to make the biggest impact and for the effects of our pro bono work to ripple through the communities we serve to the heart of our societal problems. We help non-profit organisations so that they in turn can help others. We collaborate with various organisations to assist small businesses and start-ups. We support pro bono clinics and assist non-profit organisations with their registration and compliance issues. Small businesses and start-ups can make use of our pro bono corporate legal services through our Ishishini Lethu Project. It also allows our commercial lawyers to contribute to the communities we operate in according to their areas of expertise. Legal clinics enable us to go into communities and help those without access to legal advice either on-the-spot or, for those cases needing more work, we open a file and carry on with the case on a pro bono basis.
