Join us on June 1, 2026 at 3 p.m. CET for the Environment and Climate Pro Bono Pitching Roundtable. At this roundtable, co-organized by PILnet and Taylor Wessing, NGOs will pitch their pro bono projects to law firms and be connected with free legal support to strengthen their organizations and advance their programs.
The Roundtable is open to all legal professionals providing pro bono services, including in-house counsel.
For more information for the Environmental & Climate Justice Pro Bono Workshop for NGOs, which will lay the groundwork for the Pitching Roundtable, click here.
This event is an alternative pro bono brokerage method in which PILnet handles the intake of legal requests, the matching procedure, introductions, and follow-up, but the Roundtable gives the NGO and the law firm a chance to meet before matching. At the Roundtable, NGOs directly pitch their projects to law firms and have the chance to engage in a discussion with them.
The Roundtable model is a platform to explore effective pro bono partnerships, generate climate-centered legal projects, and build new connections and collaborations.
