As a result of the support that we have been providing the Royal Holloway’s Legal Advice Centre since January 2020 when the centre first opened, we have been awarded a Pro Bono award in appreciation of the work we have carried out.
Family and child care director Emine Mehmet and employment director David Head assist the centre by offering pro bono advice in all areas of law on a weekly basis, and have been doing so since the centre’s inception at the start of the year. We continued to offer our services throughout the whole of the Covid-19 pandemic including during the government lockdowns by offering our services over the phone.
Head of the Duncan Lewis Pro Bono Committee, Emine Mehmet comments:
“Having assisted the law centre from its inception, we are delighted to see how well it has done in difficult circumstances and honoured to win this award.”
