2022 Pro Bono Awards Winners Announced!
Congratulations to all our 2022 Pro Bono Award winners. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces join us for another in person celebration at King & Wood Mallesons Sydney office last week.
Rebecca Stanley, Senior Associate and Coordinator of the Arts Law Document Review Service at KWM welcomed us along with our guests, Arts Law Allies, Board, staff and of course our wonderful volunteer lawyers. She also shared with us about KWM’s new five-year strategy for Community Impact Standing Strong and Tall Together. Arts Law is proud to be a small part of the work that KWM are doing to support communities around Australia.
We delivered 2,235 legal advices in 2021, including 709 document reviews. Together pro bono lawyers and professionals gave over 5400 hours of their time to Arts Law. Without this contribution of pro bono lawyers’ time, expertise and skill we would not be able to achieve so much. The generosity of Australia’s legal community is what makes our work possible.
