Here at PILA (Public Interest Law Alliance, a project of FLAC) we have been trying to find ways to best support our NGO partners during COVID-19.

In these challenging times, it is more important than ever that organisations, and the people they work with, have access to the legal support that they need.

As part of our COVID-19 response, we continue to update our FAQs for NGOs. We were delighted to collaborate with TrustLaw and our legal partners A&L Goodbody, Arthur Cox and McCann FitzGerald to host three webinars for NGOs and social enterprises on Employment Law, Charity Law and Contracts. Recordings of these webinars are available here.

For individuals, the FLAC Telephone Information & Referral Line is still operating and new Legal Advice Phone Clinics have been established.

In order to understand the evolving needs of our NGO partners, we are seeking feedback so that we can ensure the available pro bono legal resources are as effective as possible.

We greatly appreciate you filling out this quick survey.
