The firm's Pro Bono Practice provides free legal services to various organisations and communities.

On 1 March 2003 Webber Wentzel established a Practice to co-ordinate its pro bono work and provide free legal services to a variety of communities. This coincided with the 135th anniversary of the founding of the firm, previously known as Webber Wentzel Bowens, and with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Bowens, which merged with the firm in 1994. The establishment of this Practice demonstrates that our firm is determined to provide its clients and the wider public with the highest level of legal expertise, combined with social sensitivity and responsibility.

The work of the Pro Bono Practice is guided by the recognised need to narrow the divide between the advantaged and disadvantaged members of South African society and the obligation to play a role as a good citizen in promoting the transformative goals of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. It represents Webber Wentzel's commitment to contributing to these processes through equal justice for all.

The Practice provides essential legal services to individuals and communities on issues such as enterprise development, land reform, housing, education, healthcare, children's rights, gender equality and service provision.

The Practice has effective working relationships with a number of NGOs and charitable organisations, which assist Webber Wentzel to identify areas where our pro bono services are most needed and can be of maximum benefit.
