Our Community

WHO WE ARE

RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR COMMUNITY

At Prince Lobel, we strive to serve the communities in which we live and work, through hands-on involvement, volunteering and other charitable contributions.

We pride ourselves on having an innovative, entrepreneurial mindset. Prince Lobel approaches philanthropy, community outreach, and pro bono representation in the same way – by giving our firm's team members the freedom to develop outreach and engagement initiatives. We offer a paid volunteer time off policy, which lets employees take time each year to do volunteer work for charities or in connection with firm-sponsored community service initiatives.

We also regularly hold fundraising events throughout the year for local charities, raising funds for employee-sponsored local programs throughout Massachusetts.

PRO BONO WORK

Our firm is deeply committed to the delivery of pro bono legal services. We believe that legal professionals have the ability to help the disadvantaged and promote the public interest in ways that members of no other profession can. The following are just a few examples of Prince Lobel’s pro bono work and commitments in recent years:
  • Our domestic relations attorneys routinely accept appointments from the courts and local bar associations to serve as conciliators, counsel for children, or divorce lawyers for some of the many individuals who cannot afford legal representation.
  • In 2021 and 2022, our Cannabis attorneys established a program of free assistance to applicants seeking to qualify for the Massachusetts Social Equity Program and the Certified Economic Empowerment Priority Program for Cannabis businesses, helping to rectify the inequities of historic drug policy.
  • Our media lawyers have represented investigative journalists and non-profit news organizations, providing them with prepublication review of news articles and court advocacy for public records.
  • Firm attorneys frequently advise individuals in establishing new non-profit organizations, including providing corporate formation advice and filing for approval of tax-exempt status.
  • Our pro bono work also includes advocacy for legal change in the courts. In recent years, firm attorneys have prepared and filed friend-of-the-court briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts on behalf of a variety of non-profit organizations. Our advocacy has sought to protect the First Amendment freedom to engage in newsgathering, the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, and the interests of the real estate bar.
