David Roll - Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation
Loading...
Uploaded by socialedge on Jun 25, 2008
David Roll, a lawyer based in Washington DC, is Managing Director of Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation, a network of 160 law firms (with 20,000 lawyers) offering pro bono legal services to social entrepreneurs all over the world.
He remembers being contacted by Kyle Zimmer, the founder of First Book, an organization that has distributed millions of books worldwide. She needed a lawyer for a complex loan negotiation, and Lex Mundi was able to provide legal assistance.
As a gift, David Roll received a crayon drawing, showing an empty book shelf on the left ("Before") and a full book shelf on the right ("After"). "This five-year old child drawing perfectly captures what we are doing!" says David Roll in this short interview.
His advice: "Take risks! Get out on the edge! Put yourself out there! And don't hesitate to ask your lawyers for strategic advice. They can help you scale your venture as they can be very knowledgeable and go far beyond legal advice."
