«The term «pro bono» refers to activities
of the firm undertaken normally without expectation
of fee and not in the course
of ordinary commercial practice and consisting
of (i) the delivery
of legal services to
persons of limited means or to charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental, and educational organizations in matters which are designed primarily to address the
needs of persons of limited means; (ii) the provision
of legal assistance to individuals, groups, or organizations seeking to secure or protect civil rights, civil liberties, or public rights; and (iii) the provision
of legal assistance to charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental, or educational organizations in matters in furtherance
of their organizational purposes, where the payment
of standard
legal fees would significantly deplete the organization's economic resources or would be otherwise inappropriate.»
«It is becoming more difficult for
people of ordinary means, with complicated claims, to secure the help they
need and we are proud to offer a strong specialist team which can provide clients with the highest calibre
of legal advice when, sadly, things have gone wrong.»
Technology (at least in the sense
of «new ways
of doing old things») is the driving force behind many
of the disruptors in the
legal market — such as LegalZoom or RocketLawyer — because it offers a new way to serve the
needs of ordinary people.
