Probono, comes from Latin, for the public good, the legal practice known worldwide as PRO bono, is the exercise of the profession of lawyer for free in cases related to the defense of the public interest, but it is worth mentioning that this practice does not have objective defense of the public interest but the defense of the interests or rights of the citizen.

The lawyer who acts pro bono in causes of public interest does not necessarily assist a citizen who lacks the resources to pay for their services, but rather, the economic disinterest is based on the case that is defended, which may be related to issues such as defense of certain rights such as the environment, animal protection, certain commercial situations and their practices, discrimination, political, union, racial or religious persecution, among many others that are carefully valued by the legal team of G - LEGAL CR.

Pro bono services, understood as the voluntary work that legal professionals do, are considered part of the world of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The difference with other volunteers is that this practice gives professionals the opportunity to help those who need it most with the knowledge they already have. Several international law firms lead this modality of providing a free service to the community.
