Pro Bono Management

Pro bono management software centralizes the coordination of a law firm's or legal department's pro bono program, from sourcing opportunities through reporting on outcomes. These solutions provide a system for matching available lawyers to pro bono matters based on interest, expertise, and availability, tracking hours and case status once work begins, and connecting firms to a network of legal aid organizations and other referral sources. Specific capabilities include centralized dashboards for managing inbound opportunities, conflicts checking specific to pro bono intake, and reporting tools that translate hours and outcomes into internal recognition materials and external commitments such as pro bono pledges or ESG disclosures. Common use cases include building attorney engagement in pro bono work, supporting matters that fall outside a lawyer's usual practice area, and demonstrating program impact to firm leadership, clients, and the broader legal community. Generative AI is beginning to be used to match lawyers to pro bono opportunities based on skills and urgency, streamline conflicts checks, and predict case timelines to support faster, more informed staffing decisions.
