Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge Initiative

Published on 1 April 2023 The Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge® initiative is a unique, aspirational pro bono standard. Developed by law firm leaders and corporate general counsel, the Challenge articulates a single standard for one key segment of the legal profession – the world’s largest law firms.

 Major law firms that become Signatories to the Challenge acknowledge their institutional, firm-wide commitment to provide pro bono legal services to low-income and disadvantaged individuals and families and nonprofit groups. To help firms honor this commitment, the Law Firm Pro Bono Project assists firms in creating a supportive environment that promotes pro bono service. The Challenge definition of pro bono has become an industry standard, utilized not only by major law firms but by the legal media in reporting the pro bono contributions of large firms.
