Bowman Gilfillan is proud to be one of the first large commercial firms to develop and implement a comprehensive pro bono policy. In accordance with this policy we pursue meritorious public-law cases and act for indigent clients in a number of ongoing matters. As a responsible corporate citizen, Bowman Gilfillan encourages its practitioners to seek to provide legal services to deserving organisations and individuals on a pro bono (free) basis. A number of pro bono matters have been taken on in a wide variety of fields, from education to healthcare and other social services and partnerships have been established with recognised public interest legal services providers such as the Legal Resources Centre and the Aids Law Project.

Bowman Gilfillan has also entered into an arrangement with CIDA City Campus, particularly in business subjects, in terms of which we prepare the lecture materials for, and present lectures to, their second year students. We also provide CIDA with legal advice. All of this is done free of any charge, as part of our social responsibility programme.
