Optimizing Your Firm’s Pro Bono Program

Course Description:

Does your firm have an effective infrastructure to identify, promote, and support pro bono work?

While nearly every firm recognizes that a commitment to pro bono can serve both the public interest and their organization -- improving the firm’s reputation, accelerating professional development for associates, enhancing firm morale -- taking a pro bono program to the next level is still a challenge.

This 75-minute session offers a variety of practical techniques to quickly and effectively strengthen your program, no matter its size, and lay the foundation to move to the next level of success.

Get great ideas on everything from setting stretch goals for everyone (partners included!) to identifying the social justice issues that matter most to your clients. We’ll look at the secrets behind pro bono committees that inspire, energize and organize as well as tips for turning “I don’t have the time” into “how can I get involved?”

Join CCM for this idea-packed audio conference and explore innovations and best practices in developing, managing, and energizing law firm pro bono programs including:

Benefits of staffing pro bono assignments across several offices
Setting strategic goals: Community based projects? National issues? Is a signature project right for your firm?

Creating effective infrastructures to identify, promote, and support pro bono work
