IN HOUSE PRO BONO GROUP

Our updated Guide to In House Pro Bono is now live!

UPCOMING ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION!

Rob Powell, Director of Pro Bono and Corporate Responsibility at Weil, Gotshal & Manges will be joining us to talk about best practices for collaborating in the pro bono space – whether with law firm partners or with other in house teams. He’ll touch on the recent collaborative project we ran for Financial Institution Pro Bono Day as well as talk about some upcoming opportunities he is working on which are open to all our members. We’ll also hear from the CEO of LawWorks on different ways the in house community can get involved in pro bono. As per previous roundtables, we’ll save plenty of time to discuss hot topics
