RACS has formed a new partnership with Baker McKenzie, under which the parties will “seek to raise awareness of the issues faced by people seeking asylum and enable RACS to support more people in need of protection, with legal advice”.
“There are thousands of people in need of our support; support that couldn’t be provided without the incredible generosity and leadership from organisations like Baker McKenzie,” Ms Jackson-Vaughan explained.
“This important commitment will ensure that we can advocate for and provide legal assistance to more vulnerable people within our community."
Kate Gillingham, pro bono counsel at Baker McKenzie, said such initiatives are an “integral part of Baker McKenzie’s mission and they also believe that the provision of pro bono legal services is a fundamental professional responsibility”.
“Helping the communities where we operate is a vital part of our work,” she said.
“Our work with asylum seekers and refugees is something that I am particularly proud of and the work we do with RACS is a significant part of that practice."
