We worked with Hook Tangaza on assessments of the impact of our pro bono work in Sierra Leone and how it could be more effectively organised and delivered. Hook Tangaza were excellent – they understood both how UK lawyers do international pro bono work and the Sierra Leone context, and made some very useful recommendations. They were a pleasure to work with.
