Pro bono projects provide unique flexibility and opportunities for skill development, benefiting both the professional who takes on the work and the client.
In this episode of “GILTI Conscience,” hosts David Farhat, Stefane Victor and Nate Carden present the next installment of the podcast’s Spotlight Series, which includes a discussion with associates Jared Binstock and Sanessa Griffiths about the role pro bono work plays in tax and their experiences and motivations behind taking on this type of work.
Both Sanessa and Jared provide examples of how to find pro bono projects that are a good fit for their practices. For Sanessa, finding causes that are aligned with her values and interests motivate her to say yes. Jared explains, "If I have time to work on it, I usually just say yes. I'm not picky because you never really know what issues are going to come up. It's always a learning experience."
