The article contrasts the pro bono opportunities available to lawyers at Biglaw firms with those at small firms. While Biglaw lawyers often engage in pro bono work due to established relationships with legal organizations and incentives like eligibility for bonuses, small firm attorneys face significant barriers. Time constraints and a direct correlation between billable hours and compensation hinder small firm lawyers from pursuing pro bono cases as readily. Ultimately, this disparity highlights the broader challenges in providing legal representation in underserved communities between different types of law firms.
"Pro bono work at Biglaw firms tends to thrive due to established partnerships and lack of billing pressure on attorneys, contrasting sharply with small firm lawyers' constraints."
