About the event
Embark on a transformative journey with Candice Pillay, a distinguished expert in Social Impact Law, as she guides us through the multifaceted landscape of social justice in a dynamic webinar.
About Your Speaker:
Candice Pillay is the Head of the Social Impact practice which incorporates Pro bono, Impact litigation and CSI. She ensures that all their on-going initiatives are running smoothly and also acts as spokesperson in the media on issues affecting the poor and disenfranchised in our community.
Candice is also the head of our enterprise development and social entrepreneurship practice, which aims to empower people by teaching them to be economically active and then providing legal support to their businesses at a reduced rate. By working through various funding organisations and not-for-profit organisations in Africa, Candice is able to provide legal support to start up social enterprises throughout Africa.
Candice finds opportunities for our lawyers provide to provide pro bono legal assistance and access to justice by working with individual clients, not-for-profit organisations and public interest groups. For example, she work with Probono.Org, a clearing house for pro bono matters, to deliver free legal services to the public, as well on matters that assist the courts and government in the correct development of our jurisprudence.
Another project is her collaboration with various community legal advice centres, where we assist residents with domestic violence protection orders, maintenance claims, and custody and access cases for children. We are also providing enterprise development programmes to assist women in the shelters to start their own businesses and be economically independent.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to listen and learn about social justice and the many different ways you can be involved!
