We believe in contributing to society through our legal experience

Pro Bono

Pro bono activity, understood as free legal advice provided to non-profit organisations, aims to offer collaboration on projects of social interest using our professional services, and making our legal knowledge available to the most disadvantaged free of charge. Linked to our values of equality and justice, we fully intend for pro bono work to become part of the DNA of our lawyers, and for solidarity with those most in need to become a defining characteristic of Pérez-Llorca’s professionals, with the awareness they should have of the needs of today’s society and the many challenges it presents. For more than fifteen years, pro bono work has benefited both the clients we serve and the lawyers who get involved in these types of cases, as it is impossible to practise law while turning a blind eye to the reality of our country, where access to justice is insufficient for many people.

Who do we help?

  • Social organisations.
  • Groups or organisations promoting causes of public interest.
  • People with limited resources.
  • Vulnerable sectors or groups.

 

Lines of Action

  • Support for non-governmental, civic, cultural and educational organisations, as well as public and private research centres that help vulnerable groups and promote altruistic or general interest causes.
  • Specialised advice to individuals with limited resources who otherwise would not have access to justice and quality legal advice.

 

Funding Pro Bono Matters

Pro bono services rendered on behalf of an individual are free of charge and the fees of the lawyers involved in the case will not be charged. Likewise, routine expenses we incur in the process, such as for photocopying, making phone calls, or sending mail will be free of charge for the pro bono client.
