How Can Law Firm Build Effective Pro Bono Practice?
According to Pravo.ru, pro bono projects should be aligned with the firm's core strategy, both reflecting its values and advancing social and professional goals.
To reach the target audience in need of free legal aid and to achieve synergy, firms should actively engage with non-profits, foundations, government agencies, bar associations, and platforms that facilitate intellectual volunteering.
Alexei Nesterenko, Managing Partner of FBK Legal, commented:‘Working on public interest cases is fundamental to FBK Legal's values and mission. Our pro bono engagement takes various forms: ranging from direct requests to collaborations through platforms such as LegalCharity. For instance, a joint FBK Legal and LegalCharity initiative in 2024 was shortlisted in the special 'Pro bono' category of the Pravo-300 ranking. Such projects are based on partnership and offer valuable experience for the FBK Legal team. It allows us not only to support those in need but also to grow professionally by honing our skills in providing legal support on a charitable basis’.
