To date, the network of pro bono lawyers have accomplished a 100% success rate in applications submitted. Corina’s pro bono efforts were recognised both internally and externally, having been awarded an Honourable Mention for Outstanding Pro Bono Service at Reed Smith in 2019 and achieving a High Commendation for the Reed Smith-KIND partnership at the 2019 Law Society Excellence Awards.
