In an economic downturn, solid relationships that deliver value to clients are key to maximizing revenue for your firm.  Pro bono has become a shared value and an important signifier in these relationships as more than 200 legal departments have established pro bono initiatives during the past two years.

Legal department/law firm joint pro bono ventures offer opportunities to enrich relationships, socialize, demonstrate the firm’s range of skills and expertise, and introduce additional firm lawyers to key clients. 

Esther Lardent, President and CEO of the Pro Bono Institute will lead the online discussion with several leaders in the in-house community. The Pro Bono Institute, in partnership with the Association of Corporate Counsel, administers Corporate Pro Bono (CPBO), the key resource in the US and globally for legal departments working to establish or improve their pro bono programs.

James Jones, Managing Director of Hildebrandt and one of the most knowledgeable commentators on the current state of the legal economy will also take part in the conversation. Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to pose questions to our speakers.
