“Over the past few years, we have regularly turned to Pro Bono Connect. Our requests have ranged from strategic legal questions to internal organizational concerns.”

Bureau Clara Wichmann values the effective collaboration with Pro Bono Connect. By actively listening and asking questions, Pro Bono Connect understands exactly what is needed.

“Their involvement goes beyond merely connecting organizations with lawyers—they actively contribute ideas and focus on sustainable solutions. Pro bono assistance truly takes us a step further. It’s also reassuring to see how genuinely invested Pro Bono Connect is in the outcome. They play a powerful role in improving access to justice. We highly value the lawyers we work with. They are skilled, thoughtful, and respond quickly.
We were pleasantly surprised that we could even ask additional questions, even though the service is free of charge.”

Bureau Clara Wichmann definitely intends to continue working with Pro Bono Connect in the future, given the added value of pro bono legal expertise: “Pro bono support both eases and enriches our work. It offers fresh perspectives, sharpens our focus, and enables us to
better advocate for women’s rights. Through Pro Bono Connect, social organizations gain accesible connections to the knowledge and experience of large professional law firms.”
