Unless the nation's top firms conspire to avoid competition by agreeing to all take cases of this sort. But the victims of that conspiracy are the partners who don't want to pay for pro bono work, not the clients.

never try to predict the behavior of a GP with his finger on the trigger of a client bill. The "pro-bono" guys will probably pad their paying files, and the non-pro bono guys will spike their billings to look better against the pb guys.
