Behlau Murakami Grant IPL have a proud history of acting for people without charge
Behlau Murakami Grant has earned a reputation as one of the country’s leading boutique law firms having represented clients in some of the nation’s highest profile cases but what is not known is that the firm also has a long and proud history of acting for people in need without charge.
This is what is known as acting Pro Bono.
“Pro bono” comes from the Latin phrase “pro bono publico” which means “for the public good”
In the legal context it generally means the provision of legal services on a free or significantly reduced fee basis, with no expectation of a commercial return.
The commercial success of Behlau Murakami Grant’s three divisions
Namely the Criminal Defence/Corporate Regulation Division headed up by Mr Ron Behlau, the Family Law/Domestic Crime & Violence Division headed up by Mr Jason Murakami, the Commercial Litigation/Deceased Estate Division headed up by Mr Shane Grant means that the firm has the reserve resources to allocate teams to matters where the firm regards that justice dictates that the firm should act on behalf of a person in need on a pro bono basis.
For a nationally renowned boutique litigation firm based in Southport Behlau Murakami Grant boxes way above its weight in the Pro Bono stakes
Which is enhanced by the involvement of Mr Behlau, Mr Murakami and Senior Associate Mr Brendan Reidy as members of various prestigious Queensland Law Society Committees that actively participate and advocate for improvements and changes to the law and the legal profession in Queensland.
Behlau Murakami Grant has been fortunate enough to engage some of the country’s leading barristers that have assisted their clients on a Pro Bono Basis
Including now Supreme Court Justice Peter Callaghan SC, Mr Peter Roney KC, Mr Saul Holt KC, Mr Craig Eberhardt KC, Mr Patrick McCafferty KC, Mr Christian Jennings KC, and Mr Matt Jackson of Counsel and Mr Jules Moxom of Counsel. Behlau Murakami Grant is clearly leading the profession in relation to a law firm’s role in the community.
