Pro Bono

Overview

The Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre Pro Bono Service enables individuals, who fall within the ambit of the Service, to receive legal advice, assistance and representation at no cost.

The term ‘pro bono’ comes from the Latin phrase pro bono publico meaning ‘for the public good’. In the legal context, this generally means the provision of free legal advice and/or representation to those who cannot afford to pay for it and where public means of funding are not available.

At the QICDRC, pro bono legal advice and representation is provided by lawyers, who volunteer their time and expertise to assist individuals with limited financial means in regard to civil and commercial disputes, regulatory appeals or other legal issues that fall within the jurisdiction of the Qatar International Court or QFC Regulatory Tribunal.
