The Pro Bono Partnership is a coordination and resource center for legal professionals who want to provide volunteer legal services to nonprofit community-service organizations working with the poor and disadvantaged or otherwise providing important social services, as well as arts, civic, conservation, and environmental organizations. Its clients include organizations that work in the area of health and human services, community development, affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization. The Pro Bono Partnership identifies and screens nonprofits with legal issues and matches these clients with volunteers from the corporate legal community and private bar.
The Partnership's volunteers provide non-litigation, business transactional pro bono services for nonprofit organizations, involving, among other: (1) corporate structure and governance; (2) regulatory compliance (e.g., state and federal registration, annual reporting, charitable solicitation, fundraising, lobbying); (3) employment law; (4) contracts and leases; (5) real estate; (6) confidentiality and privacy issues; (7) environmental law; (8) intellectual property law; (9) tax law and tax-exempt status; and (10) mergers, bankruptcy, and dissolution.
