In fulfilling our clearing house and coordination role, we deliver training for the benefit of the legal profession, law students, community legal centre lawyers, volunteer lawyers, community organisations and the public. We aim to alert practitioners to emerging issues, and maximise scant resources available in the sector using innovative platforms.

| Training in pro bono development |  |
QPILCH can assist law firms without an established pro bono scheme in developing a program that suits their needs. We can also deliver seminars to inform new staff members or keep experienced staff apprised of pro bono issues for firms with established pro bono practices.
Some governments require law firms contracting with it and its agencies to undertake a percentage of their government income in the form of pro bono work.
QPILCH can assist the capacity and effectiveness of firms to undertake pro bono policy development and work.

This high quality legal information will be delivered in an interactive way by expert barristers and solicitors from member law firms at low cost to your organisation.
