The real impact of pro bono in modern law firms

Pro bono is about far more than volunteering, it's an opportunity for lawyers to make a meaningful difference while developing valuable skills. In this session, we'll explore the role pro bono plays in modern law firms, the impact it has on clients and communities, and why it has become such an important part of legal practice. We'll discuss the opportunities it offers trainees and junior lawyers, how firms balance pro bono with commercial work, and how technology and AI are helping improve access to justice. You'll also hear how pro bono is shaping the future of the profession and key things to look for when considering a firm's commitment to this work.
