Pro bono services are essential for access to justice and, as a signatory to the National Pro Bono Target, MPS Law provides pro bono support for special cases.
MPS Law provides hundreds or hours in pro bono support each year. We regularly exceed the National Pro Bono Target that voluntarily commits to providing at least 35 pro bono hours for every lawyer.
The Australian Pro Bono Centre’s definition of pro bono legal services includes:
Giving legal assistance for free or at a substantially reduced fee to:
- individuals who can demonstrate a need for legal assistance but cannot obtain Legal Aid or otherwise access the legal system without incurring significant financial hardship; or
- individuals or organisations whose matter raises an issue of public interest which would not otherwise be pursued; or
- charities, other not-for-profit organisations or social enterprises, in each case where their sole or primary purpose is to work in the interests of low income or disadvantaged members of the community, or for the public good.
Not all matters are suitable for pro bono services, and MPS Law has a stringent process for assessing whether a request may qualify.
If you believe your legal need fits the definition for pro bono services, or you would like to enquire about our pro bono services,
