HOW IT WORKS

Program Highlights

  1. Step 1

    Fill out the Pro Bono Legal Services Form

    Once applications have opened, we invite you to fill out an application form. This form paints a picture of your specific business legal needs. Provide as much detail as you can. All information will remain private.

  2. Step 2

    Your Application Will Be Reviewed

    To determine if your business application is eligible for their pro bono legal services, your application will be reviewed. This application does not constitute legal services and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. Open to any Black business in Canada — non-members can join BEBC for free as part of the application.

    Please note the following services are NOT included: Family law matters, Criminal law matters, or Immigration law.

  3. Step 3

    We Will Contact You

    Due to the high volume of interest we receive, please allow up to 14 days for response.
