WELCOME

The Association of Pro Bono Counsel is a mission-driven membership organization of almost 400 attorneys and practice group managers who run pro bono practices in over 140 of the world’s largest law firms.

The Association of Pro Bono Counsel’s mission is to maximize access to justice through the delivery of pro bono legal services by:

• Advancing the model of the full-time law firm pro bono counsel
• Supporting and enhancing the professional development of pro bono counsel
• Giving a voice to the law firm pro bono community

You can learn more about the work of APBCo by reading our report, “Improving Access to Justice Through Law Firm Pro Bono.” This report highlights the history of our organization, current initiatives and collaborations with legal services and social justice organizations around the country

APBCo has also published guidelines for evaluating legal work on behalf of Non-Profit Entities, For-Profit Entities, Social Enterprise Entities, and Impact Finance Transactions, and whether this legal work qualifies for pro bono legal assistance. We encourage you to review our statement, “Mission Matter Means 2.0: Statement on the Eligibility of Non-Profit Entities, For-Profit Entities, Social Enterprise Entities and Impact Finance Transactions for Pro Bono Legal Services.”
