Upcoming Webinar: Right to Practice Pro Bono
PBI will host the webinar “In-House Pro Bono: Developments in the Right to Practice Pro Bono” on January 29 at 12:30 p.m. EST. This one-hour program, hosted in conjunction with West LegalEdcenter, will explore recent developments in multijurisdictional practice rules.
The following panelists will discuss how many jurisdictions limit or unnecessarily restrict the provision of pro bono legal services by in-house counsel who are licensed in a jurisdiction different from the one in which they are authorized to work for their employer.
- Cynthia Beagles, Attorney, American Kennel Club
- Michael Bergmann, Executive Director, Public Interest Law Initiative
- David Brill, General Counsel, Senior Vice President, and Secretary, American Stock & Trust Co.
- Adam Hellman, Sr. Associate General Counsel, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated**
- Eve Runyon, Director, Corporate Pro Bono
