Community Involvement and Advocacy
Pro bono is a latin phrase for:
"professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment or at a reduced fee as a public service."
Paul has always done a lot of pro bono and voluntary work throughout his career, but never more than when he was the owner of Lexington Legal from 2010 to 2017.
Paul continues to take on some ‘pro bono’ work , Pro bono may be available for community organisations, especially those involved in social justice. It is not available for individual employees.
