Top Manchester law firm Pannone is to offer free legal surgeries offering advice on a range of legal issues during a special ‘Pro Bono’ (free advice) Week, from Monday 7th November to Friday 11th November.

The two hour surgeries, aimed at those who may not have the financial resource to access top legal advice, will be held at the firms Deansgate offices every day of the week commencing 7th November. Areas covered will be:

• Family & matrimonial
• Disability rights
• Personal injury
• Regulatory (covering areas including Health & Safety, environmental law, and food standards & safety)
• Employment

Anyone interested in a free half hour appointment should in the first instance apply by email to Pannone at: probono@pannone.co.uk with their name, contact details and brief outline of their query. Pannone will then do their utmost to accommodate applicants and say they expect particular interest for advice on Disability Rights advice in light of recent cuts in services.

Said the firm’s Managing Partner, Emma Holt, “It is extremely important that the law is accessible to all and this week is one way we can reach people who may not otherwise think of obtaining legal advice.”
