Pro Bono

Leveraging Our Knowledge & Skills

Pro bono drives impact at Pallas. We believe that it is an ethical duty of lawyers to leverage our knowledge and skills to serve our communities in the public interest, improve access to justice, and assist in tackling the major social issues of the generation.

Culture

Embedding a Culture of Pro Bono

All lawyers and staff are encouraged to be involved in pro bono matters throughout the year and pro bono work is given the same high standard of service and attention as client engagement.

The pro bono practice strategically focuses on access to justice, civil liberties and human rights, and environmental/climate change issues.
