Pro bono, Biglaw, and Career Development

WATCH PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION

Pro bono can be an important part of a career in some law firms.  It allows attorneys to give back to their community and helps them with professional development.  But how can you determine which firms have meaningful opportunities and which firms have flashy marketing materials?  Luke Liss from Wilson Sonsini gives us a great response to this question and more.

• What does pro bono work in large law firms look like?
• What types of work do attorneys do?
• What types of clients can you help?
• How does pro bono vary from litigation to transactional attorneys?
• Is it a real opportunity or just something for recruiting purposes?
• Can you talk about how collaboration works across offices?
• How does pro bono help junior attorneys develop skill sets?
• What advice would you give a law student interested in pro bono work as part of their practice and development?
