Organization Description:
Beacon Law partners with attorneys willing to donate their time and expertise to assist our clients with their legal matters. We have opportunities for individual attoneys as well as corporate counsel. Most of our cases are transactional in nature and the volunteer attorney takes on the full case. Litigation cases can be taken on in tiers where the volunteer attorney selects their level of involvement in the case from briefings and pleadings only, to trial preparation assistance to taking on the full case. Progress of the case is monitored by our staff.
