What we do

iProbono India brings together the legal expertise of its carefully curated community of panel and network lawyers, ground-level insights of its grassroots partners, and the ethos of social action litigation to advance justice and equality in India.

We focus our efforts on child rights, housing justice, and strengthening civil society.

Our Work Includes:

Litigation

iProbono represents vulnerable individuals before courts across the country. Cases come to us via our partner organisations, and in some instances, government stakeholders. Our team assigns the case to a suitable panel lawyer. While court appearances are primarily handled by panel lawyers, the iProbono Officer manages the case at all levels, including client care & liaison, legal research, maintaining documentation, and efficient case oversight.

Our Panel Model

iProbono’s model ensures we provide our clients with wrap-around support, and can take on a large number of cases with a streamlined team.

Comprehensive Care

Our team provides holistic support to children in need of care and protection referred to us by Child Welfare Committees. Our social workers assist with enrolment in schools, provide support during medical termination of pregnancy, connect children to appropriate mental health professionals, and identify when a child is unsafe at home and needs to be placed in a care facility.

Social Workers at iProbono work closely with children in difficult circumstances and different stakeholders involved in child care and protection.
