Pro Bono Partnership is a nationally recognized provider of pro bono legal services to nonprofits serving the disadvantaged and strengthening communities in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. The Partnership collaborates with in-house legal departments and law firms to deliver critical legal help, which nonprofits need to function. Most of its nonprofit clients serve largely underprivileged and marginalized populations whose needs expanded during the pandemic. For many nonprofits, the pandemic meant that they needed to adapt quickly to changing regulations. Throughout this crisis, the Partnership helped nonprofits with no interruption of service. In fact, the Partnership provided more assistance than ever, providing an estimated $19 million in free legal services
