Pro bono is ‘no longer a tick box’ for big firms
Manage episode 459702945 series 2420032
For this BigLaw special counsel, it has been hugely encouraging to see the elevated investments and priority being placed on pro bono by Australia’s largest law firms, which is better positioning those businesses to create positive change nationwide. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Gadens special counsel in sustainability and social impact Shabnum Cassim about her background and interest in social justice and human rights, the emotionally draining nature of such legal work, her perception of the growing importance being placed on pro bono practices by large law firms, and why they are making such investments.
Cassim also touches on the continued trajectory of pro bono arms of law firms, balancing a firm’s business and social impact interests, having clients who are more socially focused, taking a more holistic approach as a lawyer in any area of law, the duties of team leaders in pro bono moving forward, and what excites her about pro bono offerings in Australia into the future.
