Telstra in-house team works for free WHEN Telstra's in-house legal department won an award for corporate social responsibility from the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association last week, it was for an approach to pro-bono work that is normally found in the private profession. As well as supporting the pro-bono efforts of the firms that work for Telstra, the company's in-house legal team has been accepting pro-bono work on referral, working free for good causes.
