<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Pro bono work has been important at Morales &amp; Besa since the firm was founded twenty years ago.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They have been trailblazers ever since and take their responsibilities very seriously. Pro bono is voluntary for the firm’s lawyers but the take up is high. The firm has created a pro bono manual and a committee to decide on eligibility. When lawyer performance is evaluated equal weight is given to pro bono work and hours charged to clients. The judges commended Morales &amp; Besa on the firm’s constant encouragement to pro bono activities in Chile.</p>
