Bobo Ajudua, Principal Partner at B.F.A & Co. Legal is advocating for the critical role of pro-bono service and the cultivation of enduring client relationships in the legal profession.
Ajudua, a distinguished practitioner in Entertainment Law in a thought-provoking address at the recent Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference (#NBAconference24), emphasised that while pro bono work may not always yield immediate financial rewards, it serves as a powerful platform for professional growth, networking, and making a tangible impact in society.
“Pro bono service is more than just a moral obligation. It is an investment in your own professional development, a means of building a strong reputation, and a way to contribute meaningfully to the legal community,” he said.
Ajudua emphasised that effective legal representation extends beyond providing sound legal advice but involves empathetic listening, understanding clients’ unique needs, and offering comprehensive guidance.
