At the recent inquest into the death of Nicola 'Nikki' Bulley, Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, and Sophie Cartwright KC, of Deans Court Chambers, were instructed to represent the family on a pro bono basis with the assistance of the charity Advocate and through the ‘Pro Bono Connect Scheme’.
At the end of the hearing, His Majesty’s Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley thanked the legal team and noted that they had undertaken representation of the family “on a pro bono basis because they felt that it was the right thing to do.”
If you would like to know more about working with Advocate, please see their website (https://lnkd.in/dBvhsET) for details on how to apply for assistance with your case, or for details on how legal professionals can sign up to volunteer to give time pro bono on deserving cases.
Support on pro bono cases can also be obtained through Pro Bono Connect, where barristers and solicitors work together on the case.
Solicitors firms can sign up to Pro Bono Connect directly, and barristers are referred through Advocate.
