Since 2011, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr's (CDH) Pro Bono & Human Rights Practice (Pro Bono Practice) has been at the heart of our firm's commitment to making a real difference.Over the past decade, our Pro Bono Practice has passionately championed the cause of public interest, providing pro bono legal support to clients in need. The decision to establish a dedicated practice was motivated by our belief  in giving back to the communities in which we operate and in the power of the legal profession to spark positive change.
 
But our contribution to access to justice doesn’t end with our Pro Bono Practice.  Across our entire firm, fee-earners have eagerly and generously volunteered their expertise to provide pro bono assistance. This collective effort demonstrates our firm's commitment to social justice and our belief that access to quality legal representation should never be a privilege, but a right.
