Who We Are

About Netprolaw

The Network of Pro-bono Lawyers is a non-governmental organisation promoting the rule of law and respect for human rights, by creating a platform for lawyers and legal aid providers to build their capacity, rejuvenate the spirit of common humanity in other to offer quality legal services to underprivileged persons who cannot afford legal representation.

The network represents disadvantaged groups in Nigeria.

About Netprolaw

Over the years, the network has trained thousands of lawyers and paralegals who are providing legal advice and representing the most disadvantaged groups in Nigeria. The Network has branches in Lagos, Kano, Abia and is headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria.

The network is also engaging with government especially in relation to the promotion of the civil and political rights and social-economic rights but most especially the freedom of information and expression which we believe are the gateway rights to accessing other fundamental human rights.
