Pro Bono

In addition to companies and individual clients, GSMLaw also advises non-pfrofit organisations that follow scientific, cultural or social goals.

In the Anglo-Saxon legal community, the provision of pro bono publico attorney services is a naturality for many practitioners. The American Bar Association proposed that American law firms should allocate 3% of their workingtime to pro bono activities to contribute to general benefits. Due to §49b I 1 BRAO , the German attornyship is prohibited from conducting legal activities without remuneration, thus standing distanced form the current international trend.

In case of pro bono clients, GSMLaw is willing to work on lowest possible remuneration basis, should the concerned representation be in public interest. However, we reserve the right to accept or decline mandates in this category.
