Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts

The Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA) Board is dedicated to enhancing access to justice by managing and distributing revenues generated from client trust accounts held by attorneys. The board awards grants to legal services organizations, pro bono programs, and law schools, thereby supporting civil legal assistance for individuals who lack the financial means to retain legal counsel.

In addition to overseeing compliance with Pennsylvania's rules regarding client funds, the IOLTA Board encourages attorneys to engage with Platinum Leader Banks that exceed standard eligibility requirements. Through initiatives like the Pro Hac Vice program, the board also facilitates out-of-state attorneys' participation in Pennsylvania cases, ensuring a streamlined process for legal representation.
