What is R&Cs commitment to pro bono service?
We take the ethical obligation to provide legal services to those that cannot afford them very seriously, and all attorneys at R&C are strongly encouraged to engage in pro bono work. As evidence of our commitment to pro bono work, attorneys receive billable hour credit for time spent on pro bono matters. In a more formal way, R&C’s commitment is demonstrated by its participation in the national Law Firm Challenge. As part of that challenge, we have pledged a yearly pro bono goal of 3% of attorneys’ billable time. Lastly, a number of our attorneys serve on boards of directors for legal service providers.
