Pro bono<\/strong> refers to the legal assistance and advice, provided voluntarily and free-of-charge, in favour of non-profit organisations and disadvantaged people.<\/p>\n

It is a direct expression of the social function<\/strong> of the<\/strong> legal profession<\/strong> (enshrined in Art. 8 of Law no. 247 of 31 December 2012, known as the \u201cLegge professionale forense<\/em>\u201d) and a key tool for the protection of human rights <\/strong>and the improvement of the legal system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our lawyers feel a professional, social and ethical responsibility<\/strong> to devote part of their time and expertise to improving<\/strong> the public good<\/strong>, protecting human rights<\/strong>, enhancing the legal system<\/strong> and favouring the<\/strong> access to justice <\/strong>by people in need.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we have been involved, for several years, in the organisation of the Italian Pro Bono Roundtables<\/strong>, periodic meetings of lawyers, inhouse counsels, non-profit associations and academics, and we facilitated the setting-up, in May 2017, of Pro Bono Italia<\/strong><\/a>, the first non-profit association of lawyers, trainee lawyers, law firms, and forensic associations for the promotion of a pro bono culture in our country. The association provides, through its associates and network members, for legal advice and representation in Court<\/strong>, voluntarily and free-of-charge, to non-profit organisations<\/strong> and disadvantaged individuals <\/strong>who seek access to justice. The association also fosters a dialogue with the national and international legal community, which is engaged in social impact activities, and regularly organises seminars and events on legal, social and cultural topics of general interest<\/strong>, with the aim of raising awareness on the topic, keeping practitioners up to date, and spreading the knowledge of Italian law among non-experts.<\/p>\n

As Chairman<\/strong> of the Board of Pro Bono Italia<\/strong>, Giovanni Carotenuto<\/strong> represents the association at national and international events on pro bono, human rights and civil liberties\u2019 topics, and inspires initiatives and projects aimed at gaining a meaningful impact both at national and global levels.<\/p>\n
