#TheProBonoReception celebrates the commercial legal sector's backing of access to justice and pro bono and supports the National Pro Bono Centre. It follows the highly successful major London receptions in recent years.

The reception will bring together leaders across the commercial dispute resolution sector and the access to justice and pro bono sector. The providers of services to London’s commercial dispute resolution will attend - reflecting their key role in London’s commercial dispute resolution offer, combined with their support of access to justice and pro bono including in particular through sponsorship of the CLF Litigation Directory.

We look forward to celebrating the growing pro bono contribution made by in house lawyers, a year on from the succesful launch of the In House Pro Bono Pledge from NPBC, GC100, In House Pro Bono Group, Advocate, BACFI, LawWorks and TrustLaw.

All guests are kindly requested to depart the venue by 8:00 PM. In the spirit of extending the evening’s enjoyment, many CLF sponsors are planning to organise drinks or dinner nearby, so do look out for invitations to post-reception gatherings.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Courts of Justice for what promises to be a very special and memorable evening!
