London-based charity and social enterprise clients of Cause4, the “disruptive philanthropy”
agency, are to receive _pro bono_ legal services support from [Axiom](http://www.axiomlaw.co.uk),
the global provider of tech-enabled legal services.

The initiative is part of [Axiom Engage](http://www.axiomengage.com), the firm’s
CSR programme, which is active in the USA. It will result in Axiom staff sharing
their skills with charities and social enterprises, but also benefiting from training
through volunteer opportunities.

Axiom’s staff will also be encouraged to undertake training to become charity Trustees
as part of Cause4’s Trustee Leadership Programme, in partnership with financial 
services firm Close Brothers.

Nick West, Managing Director of Axiom UK said:

> “We have an incredible range of legal talent at Axiom, but our team also consists
> of highly-skilled experts in business and operations, so we were keen to find 
> a partner who could benefit not only from pro-bono legal advice, but from a whole
> range of business expertise. Partnering with Cause4 has enabled us to create a
> programme which includes pro-bono legal advice, mentorship opportunities and an
> industry-unique charity Trustee training programme.”

Michelle Wright CEO of [Cause4](http://www.cause4.co.uk/) added:

> “We are excited to be working with Axiom on a variety of charity sector change
> projects that I believe will bring a fresh outlook to the legal and project management
> needs of charities in the UK.”

## Part of a larger partnership

The new pro bono legal clinic for Cause4 charity and social enterprise clients in
London, is just part Axiom’s investment in sector-wide initiatives with Cause4. 
Other upcoming activities include “major catalytic philanthropy projects” and “a
new international digital offering for the charity sector”.
