Social Finance Hot Desk Shortlisted for LexisNexis Pro Bono Award
We are proud to share that the Social Finance Hot Desk (SFHD), an initiative of Prime Advocates, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Pro Bono Award at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026.
The LexisNexis Legal Awards showcase the best of the legal profession: celebrating firms, chambers, and organisations that demonstrate legal excellence and a profound commitment to the community. The Pro Bono Award recognises those who have shown exceptional dedication to providing legal services for the public good, especially for those who would otherwise lack access to the support they need.
This shortlisting recognises the unique impact of SFHD, as a market-leading pro bono intermediary specialising in social finance and dedicated to increasing access to legal support. By working with world-class law firms, high-impact social enterprises and impact investors, SFHD ensures that complex legal barriers do not stand in the way of social and environmental progress.
Delivering Pro Bono for Systemic Social Change
This recognition reflects our ongoing mission to innovate the pro bono model. Rather than providing one-off transactional advice, SFHD acts as a strategic legal partner, helping social organisations navigate the complexities of social investment, corporate structuring, and more.
As we approach our 10th anniversary, being named a finalist by LexisNexis underscores the vital role of legal innovation in driving a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
“Marking our 10th anniversary with a LexisNexis shortlisting, following an already strong awards year with recognition by FT Innovative Lawyers (for Prime Advocates) and PILnet, goes to show the impact value of our unique model. For the past decade, we’ve been working to drive legal innovation and accessibility in impact finance, and we are excited to grow this globally across the next ten years and beyond”
Thank You
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our partner law firms, our social enterprise beneficiaries, and our wider community. Your collaboration and trust allow us to turn legal expertise into real-world impact.
