Every day, many Canadians confront legal issues without the benefit of professional assistance. Across the country, law firms are responding by offering legal advice, guidance, and representation at no cost. 

These pro bono initiatives not only give a voice to those who might otherwise be shut out of the justice system, they also enable lawyers to participate in meaningful volunteer work and showcase leadership, dedication, and excellence in their field. 

Canadian Lawyer’s fourth annual 5-Star Pro Bono Firms 2026 will showcase the firms that provide access to justice and strengthen their communities. 

We invite you to share your firm’s impact, highlight the lives you’ve helped change, and take part in this national recognition of pro bono excellence. 

Nominations are open until Friday, March 13

The 5-Star Pro Bono Firms 2026 report, proudly supported by Pro Bono Ontario, will be published on the website in June.
