Formulating your Organisation's Approach to Pro Bono

While much pro bono work is carried out on an ad hoc basis, there are distinct advantages to taking a strategic approach to pro bono in order to maximise the benefits for your pro bono clients and for your organisation. This Practice Note provides information for law firms and in-house teams about formulating your approach to pro bono and why your pro bono strategy should derive from, and be closely aligned with, your overall strategic plans for the business. It also highlights key information to include in a pro bono policy. If your chosen approach to pro bono is to succeed, it needs to have internal support. To get this, the plan should be relevant to your business and should derive from, and be closely aligned with, your organisation’s overall strategic plans. You should therefore check your business plan before putting together a business case for pro bono as you will need to gather some key information from it to help inform your approach.
