Social Responsibility

Ampersand takes great pride in the work it does in society.

Our members have regularly acted in cases pro bono through the Faculty of Advocates Free Legal Services Unit. As part of its commitment to promote access to justice, the Faculty of Advocates  facilitates the provision of advice and representation by Advocates free of charge in deserving cases for which no form of funding is available.

This pro bono service has been a feature of the Faculty down the centuries and is now provided by volunteer Advocates through the Free Legal Services Unit. Cases may be referred to the Unit from accredited advice agencies. You can find out more about this on the Faculty of Advocates website.

Ampersand has been involved with a number of charities over the years, with regular fund raising for a variety of deserving causes. The Charities we have supported in recent years include Wellbeing of Women, The Child Brain Injury Trust and A Smile for a Child.
