The law firm of Boult, Cummings, Conners & Berry has announced the implementation of a pro bono program to respond to the legal needs of the Middle Tennessee nonprofit community.

The program is designed to deliver legal services to nonprofits of limited means where the payment of standard legal fees would significantly deplete the organization’s economic resources. Additional information on BCCB’s Pro Bono policy can be found at: http://www.boultcummings.com/probono/.

If your nonprofit organization has a legal issue and is a CNM member, contact Membership Coordinator Avé Trotter at 615.259.0100 or ave@cnm.org for more information.
