Administrators can generate detailed reports aligned with ABA and Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge standards, reducing manual data collection efforts significantly.

This real-time visibility enables proactive program management and helps firms meet annual pro bono targets.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Paladin
Paladin is designed for law firms of all sizes — particularly AmLaw 200 firms — in-house legal departments, and legal aid organizations looking to manage, scale, and report on their pro bono programs. Pro bono coordinators, legal operations managers, and nonprofit administrators are the primary day-to-day users of the platform.
Paladin centralizes pro bono hours logging across all attorneys in a firm, enabling administrators to generate reports aligned with ABA and Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge reporting standards. This eliminates the need to manually compile hours from multiple systems or rely on attorney self-reporting via email, significantly improving data accuracy and completeness.
Paladin's business model is primarily subscription-based on the law firm and legal department side. Nonprofit and legal aid organizations typically access the platform to post matters and connect with firm volunteers at no cost or reduced cost, though access terms may depend on the specific partnership arrangement with subscribing firms. Contact Paladin directly to confirm nonprofit access policies.
