quo dehinc (pro) nostris iurisconsultis?
QUO means "whither, where (to)", and DEHINC means "hence, from here".
But the English "for our lawyers" can mean "on behalf of..." ("shopping an anniversary present for my house-bound father", i.e., I am his agent), or it can mean "with regard to, for the benefit of..." ("shopping a birthday present for my father", i.e., I am ).
You must use the Latin PRO if the expression means, "Whither from here (do we go) on behalf of our lawyers?/What does one do now for the lawyers' services?"
But you must omit it if the sentence means, "Whither from here (will things go) for our lawyers?/What must the lawyers now do?"
