BLG's Pro Bono Program
Lawyers who engage in pro bono work make meaningful contributions to the lives of others – preserving and advancing the welfare of communities and their disadvantaged members. At the same time, such lawyers gain practical and professional development experience, have an opportunity to pursue areas of passion and interest, and invariably are enriched by their pro bono experiences.
As part of our national commitment to pro bono work, BLG has a formal pro bono policy that reflects our professional responsibility to help those in our communities who would otherwise be unable to obtain access to justice or legal services.
Our pro bono work offers deserving clients a full range of legal activities – including courtroom advocacy, legal advice, drafting of documents, community legal education, and alternate dispute resolution services.
All BLG lawyers are encouraged to engage in pro bono work and to incorporate it into their professional development – and our pro bono clients receive the same high level of service as do our paying clients.
Overseen by BLG’s National Pro Bono Committee, the Firm’s pro bono activities are identified, coordinated and monitored by Regional Pro Bono Committees, ensuring the highest level of quality control and professional excellence.
