TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono

The TrustLaw Index is the definitive benchmark for global pro bono data. I depend on its insights to spot emerging trends and to better understand the pro bono landscape across every country in which we operate.

The TrustLaw Index fills a critical gap in our sector. There is no comparable resource that captures the scale and nature of pro bono legal work across the world. It’s an essential tool for firms committed to transparency and to strengthening access to justice. Whether for benchmarking or for understanding the landscape in a particular jurisdiction, it provides a unique reference point, helping to set the standard within the legal profession and to collectively raise the bar on the impact we can deliver.

The Index has been an invaluable benchmark for structuring and scaling Mattos Filho’s pro bono program. Its comparative insights help us set targets, deepen engagement, and demonstrate impact to leaders and clients, strengthening the culture of pro bono across Brazil and Latin America.

The TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono has been a catalyst in shaping our firm’s pro bono strategy, enabling us to meaningfully assess our impact, define clear priority areas, and formalise our commitment through the establishment of a dedicated Pro Bono Committee and Policy. Beyond internal development, the Index offers invaluable insight into regional and global pro bono trends, allowing us to align our efforts with best practices across the legal profession.
