The Thomson Reuters Foundation Trust Law Index of Pro Bono 2022 (“Index”) was published on 9 February 2023. 

This Index provides a distinctive benchmark that presents a snapshot of the key national, regional, and global trends shaping the pro bono legal marketplace. It also emphasizes the success factors of pro bono practices. 

This year’s Index compiles data from 245 law firms and representing more than 100,000 lawyers in 124 countries. These lawyers contributed over 3,500,000 hours toward pro bono work. 

We are proud that our Managing Partner, Matthew Rendall, together with Soromnear Sin (Senior Associate), Rosette Sok (Associate), and Ellisa Bunlee (Intern) participated in the Index Survey to generate an article on the current pro bono landscape in Cambodia. 

The article examines the services provided by individual attorneys, law firms, and the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia (“BAKC”). It aims to give insights into the pro bono practices in the country and contribute to the ongoing development of the pro bono legal marketplace. 

SOK SIPHANA & ASSOCIATES is committed to promoting access to legal services in Cambodia through our pro bono practice. We have assisted and represented numerous clients, including individuals, government organizations, charities, and NGOs both locally and abroad. 

We encourage you to explore the Trust Law Index of Pro Bono 2022 and read our article on the Trust Law website. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in pro bono legal practices and trends, and we are delighted to have contributed to it.
