[QUOTE="EmmKay, post: 40297, member: 3682"] Hi everyone :) I'm really interested in pursuing the client focused, impactful quality of work commercial law firms offer. I am attracted to the prospect of working with organisations rather than individuals. Pro bono work for charities, NGOs and social start-ups etc appeals to me. It seems like such organisations choose large commercial law firms to be represented by. Increasingly, commercial law firms are introducing pro bono as a dedicated practice area and appointing dedicated pro bono associates (and partners). CSR and Legal research driven professional support roles are also continuing to emerge. Apart from looking firms' websites, are there any resources that provide info on what commercial law firms offer pro bono practices, dedicated positions, and CSR or research driven professional support roles for graduates/aspiring lawyers? I know DLA Piper has a dedicated pro bono practice, as does Reed Smith, but I'm struggling to get a clear picture of how to pursue a pro bono career at a commercial law firm. Any advice, tips or signposting to resources would be really helpful :) [/QUOTE]
