A pro bono group has been set up to provide free legal advice for the 2012 Olympic participants from 9 July to 12 September 2012.
The Bar Council, Law Society and British Association for Sport and Law announced the formation of the new “London 2012 Pro Bono Legal Advice and Representation Service” last week.
The legal profession is invited to apply to take part via Sport Resolutions, a specialist dispute service, by 15 May 2011. Bar chair, Peter Lodder QC said the service would “showcase the high quality range of services which the UK legal profession as a whole can offer”.
