- Pro bono -

The Kopeć Zaborowski Law Firm supports the organization with legal matters related to its ongoing operations.
In addition, we engage in free legal assistance for private individuals who cannot afford to cover the costs of legal services. Although we do not charge a fee for these matters, we always provide comprehensive and fully professional service. During our activity, we have helped more than 50 such people.
Assisting in a specific individual case depends on the current number of pro bono cases and the personal and legal situation of the people seeking assistance. Priority is also given to assistance for institutional entities.
We believe that by supporting numerous charitable activities we contribute to spreading what is good. Our lawyers also provide legal support on their own to many individuals and initiatives.
