Abstract
The draft presented is a work in progress and tries in an early stage of the research to describe the situation of pro bono in Portugal, focusing in the large law firm and the lawyers who work in this organizational environment. The idea of centring the work in the context of large law firm came from evidence in the field that shows this kind of organization has a profound impact on the kind of work lawyers do (Flood,2011; Galanter and Henderson, 2008) and in its professional values (Boon, 2005,; Falconbridge and Muzio,2008), but also because large law firms have been promoting structured programmes of pro bono (Cummings and Rhode 2010; Boutcher 2010) and, at last, the Portuguese context has been extremely permeated by the influence of this specific type of practice (Santos, 2017).
