Before joining my current firm I was repeatedly told that pro bono was something the firm took seriously and that I’d get plenty of opportunities to get involved. That’s turned out to far from the truth and as far as I can tell the firm’s efforts on this front are ‘token’ at best.

At 2PQE I realise I’m not in a position to be making major demands of management and that at the end of the day we’re here to make money but how might I go about pushing the issue up the agenda?
