Accolades for Brogan Pastro
On May 8, 2026, Access Pro Bono held its annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast. The purpose of that breakfast was to acknowledge the work of Access Pro Bono’s volunteers and to thank them for the hours that they contributed to Access Pro Bono’s efforts providing free legal advice to British Columbians in 2025 and 2026.
The Partners of Bernard LLP are proud to share that Access Pro Bono recognized the efforts of one of our partners, Brogan Pastro, for a third year in a row at the breakfast. Brogan was again one of Access Pro Bono’s top ten volunteers for its Court of Appeal Roster Program this year.
We are proud that Brogan was able to contribute to the best traditions of the Bar by providing access to justice to self-represented litigants in the Court of Appeal this year.
This was a particularly important recognition for our firm as it came on the heels of Brogan and Wana Wafa’s win at the Court of Appeal for a pro bono client through the Court of Appeal Roster Program. You can read that case here: 2026 BCCA 118 (CanLII) | Janif v. Chander | CanLII
