The ten-member Pro Bono Counsel advisory body comprises the heads of pro bono services from other leading international law firms and corporations such as Microsoft and Dentsu International, and plays a key role in ensuring that TrustLaw activities reflect and support the needs of the ever-evolving legal pro bono sector.
A dedicated and committed advocate of pro bono activity and an active member of TrustLaw since 2018, Ms. Chan has consistently advised on pro bono matters, including for social justice and equality, environment protection, education, family and community and microfinance matters spanning the globe and with focus on South and Southeast Asia.
