PILnet

It's the final day of and we're closing the week in style.

In Hungary, PILnet's Pro Bono Friday opened its doors for one-on-one online consultations with legal professionals, covering the areas that matter most to NGOs: taxation, data protection, employment, and more.

We want to thank all the lawyers and Civil Society Organizations across Europe that came together, exchanged ideas, built connections and reaffirmed their commitment to a pro bono ecosystem. You made a success.
