Allen & Overy has teamed up with global charity Advocates for International Development (A4ID) to create an online “legal health check”, where NGOs, charities and social enterprises can identify their legal needs and request pro bono assistance. It comprises 13 modules of multiple choice questions, each evaluating a different area, such as employment, data protection and risk management. A written report is produced, and the NGO or other organisation can then seek help via A4ID’s pro bono broker service.
