Values into Community Action | 2007-2008 Programme Management Each office has its own pro bono and community affairs contact and partner who is responsible for the running of that office's programme. In some of our larger offices the programmes are run by a committee, comprising both fee-earners and non fee-earners. Compliance All new pro bono and community projects must be consistent with the aims of the Programme. For example, Allen & Overy will not get involved in pro bono work for political organisations, and our rules for checking conflicts, money laundering and all local bar association/law society regulations and compliance apply. As with fee-earning work, a letter of engagement is sent to pro bono clients defining the scope of our obligations. In some jurisdictions, the availability of appropriate publicly funded legal advice or representation is considered before we undertake a pro bono matter. Matter Inception and time Recording All fee-earner time spent on the Programme is recorded on Carpe Diem and reviewed regularly. Matter inception forms should use the non-billable code 9999 and sub-code 66, to reflect that a file is pro bono/community work. File numbers for regular pro bono and community clients can be found on the Programme intranet site. Charitable Giving Each office fundraises for local charities chosen by staff. Further information about the charitable giving policy of the London office can be found on the intranet. Further information Further information about the Programme is available on the Pro Bono page on the Intranet and in a variety of publications including the Pro Bono & Community Affairs Annual Report and our brochure, A Sense of Responsibility, which can be downloaded from the Allen & Overy internet site or sent to you on request from the Pro Bono & Community Affairs team. Allen & Overy is committed to developing and expanding the Programme to ensure that it helps those in need, and remains challenging, interesting and satisfying for all volunteers across Allen & Overy. If you have any ideas or suggestions about the Programme, please share them with the Pro Bono & Community Affairs team. 94 © Allen & Overy LLP 2008
