The Pro Bono Reception hosted by the CLF, CLLS, CLSC and LSLA

Join us for 2026's prestigious Pro Bono Reception in the Great Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice where leaders from the legal sector and judiciary will come together to celebrate pro bono.

Law firms can attend by making a contribution of £500 (or more), all of which goes to charity. That contribution provides the firm with tickets for 5 attendees, to join an excellent networking event where legal directories, judges, barristers and GC100 representatives will be in attendance. Given the focus on pro bono, the press will also be in attendance. Please contact mary@dobsonsmith.consulting to reserve your tickets.

The Pro Bono Reception celebrates the commercial legal sector's backing of access to justice and pro bono and supports the National Pro Bono Centre. It follows 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 sector will attend - reflecting their key role in London’s commercial dispute resolution offering, 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, two years on from the successful launch of the In House Pro Bono Pledge from NPBC, GC100, In House Pro Bono Group, Advocate, BACFI, LawWorks and TrustLaw. A number of new Pledge signatories will be celebrated on the night itself.

This year we are delighted to be featuring a host of key pro bono charities who are all invited to host banners around the outside of the Great Hall, making it as easy as possible to get to know them and their important work.
