Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta
(PBP-ATL) is a tax-exempt public charity whose mission
is to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible for
transactional lawyers at corporations and law firms to
provide valuable pro bono services for nonprofit
agencies serving the public interest in Metropolitan
Atlanta. PBP-ATL was founded by several corporations
and law firms in Atlanta, including The Coca-Cola
Company, GE Energy, AGL
Resources, BellSouth Corporation,
Home Depot, Delta Airlines,
Kilpatrick Stockton, King & Spalding,
and Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan. Pro
Bono Partnership of Atlanta is modeled after the Pro
Bono Partnership, a New York/New
Jersey/Connecticut-based nonprofit that identifies and
refers pro bono matters to transactional lawyers.
PBP-ATL serves
community-based nonprofits whose primary purpose is to
operate ongoing programs or activities that benefit
low-income communities or that otherwise serve the
public interest. In order to be eligible, the nonprofit
agency must be unable to pay for legal services without
significant impairment of program resources. We match
eligible organizations with volunteer attorneys from the
leading corporations and law firms in Atlanta who can
provide a variety of free legal services including
advice and counsel on matters related to
Corporate Structure and
Governance
Contracts and Leases
Intellectual Property
Real Estate
Employment Law
Environmental Law
Tax Law and Tax-exempt
Status
Regulatory Compliance
Mergers
PBP-ATL offers volunteer
attorneys an opportunity to provide valuable pro bono
services by handling matters which are: (i) discrete and
manageable, (ii) nonlitigation matters that are
generally not subject to any deadlines, and (iii)
consistent with the attorney’s legal skills and
expertise.
If you are: (i) a nonprofit in need of legal advice,
(ii) a law firm or corporation interested in supporting
the work of PBP-Atl, or (iii) an attorney interested in
volunteering, or are otherwise interested in learning
more about PBP-ATL, please call (404) 407-5088 or email
