Since 2022, we have been providing pro bono legal advice to The Line, London – a public art project and outdoor exhibition programme in East London where people can explore art, nature and heritage for free. Over the last few weeks, they delivered a talk at our offices as well as hosting a guided tour of The Line's art walk for our colleagues. The talk explored the impact of the firm's ongoing legal pro bono support, as well as art pieces that can be found along the art walk and the artists featured. Our colleagues had the opportunity to see these pieces in person, truly bringing the talk to life. #Probono

Concrete details are expected later this year, but based on the report prepared for Labour by the Green Finance Institute Taskforce, we can extrapolate what the likely shape and investment parameters of the NWF will be.
