Through the integration, available for free to JusticeServer users, legal services organizations can share pro bono opportunities directly to Paladin PBC's platform. Paladin's network of attorneys can pursue cases shared via JusticeServer, and upon assignment, attorney details from Paladin are automatically transferred over to JusticeServer.
"As Paladin's network of volunteer opportunities grows, it's important to us to continually find ways to make it even easier for lawyers to connect with low-income individuals in need," said Kristen Sonday, Paladin's CEO, in a statement Thursday. "JusticeServer has an intuitive and well-designed platform to support legal services' organizations pro bono clients, and the integration was a natural next step in amplifying their important work."
JusticeServer, a product owned by TechBridge, connects attorneys with legal service providers as a way to provide pro bono legal services to indigent clients.
"Whether it's preventing homelessness, facilitating child adoptions, or securing veterans' VA benefits, the impact of timely and effective legal intervention cannot be overstated," said TechBridge CEO Clint Bailey in the announcement. "This partnership will expand the reach and efficiency of our pro bono services across the country."
Founded in 2015, Paladin offers a customizable platform that connects law firms and in-house legal departments with pro bono opportunities from legal aid organizations. Some of Paladin's clients include law firms Dentons, Clifford Chance LLP, Holland & Knight LLP and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC, according to its website.
Last week, the company launched a new volunteer portal for attorneys and other professionals focused on election integrity in the U.S.
