Major companies have signed the UK in-house pro bono pledge, a commitment to increase the participation of their legal teams in pro bono activities. The pledge, initiated by the In House Pro Bono Group, National Pro Bono Centre, and GC100, aims to encourage at least 25 percent of their UK-based lawyers to engage in pro bono work annually, with the target rising to 35 percent in the following year and reaching 50 percent the year after. This initiative highlights the role that legal pro bono work plays in the legal community and in contributing positively to society.
