Pro Bono

Overview


Pro bono is intrinsic to who we are.

We believe the law can be a powerful force for good – and we put that belief into action every day. Our lawyers and business professionals use their skills to expand access to justice, protect human rights, and empower individuals and organizations working for change.

Whether we’re fighting for civil rights and racial justice, representing asylum seekers, supporting survivors of violence, or advising nonprofits and social enterprises that strengthen communities, we approach every matter with the same focus, rigor, and care.

Our goal is simple: to make the law work for everyone. That means showing up where we’re needed most, standing beside those whose voices aren’t heard, and building lasting partnerships that drive meaningful impact.

Our approach to advancing access to justice


We believe justice should be accessible to everyone – no exceptions.

Around the world, countless people face life-changing legal challenges without the means to secure representation. Our pro bono program exists to help close that gap by bringing the full strength of our firm to individuals and organizations working to create a more just society.

Our approach is hands-on, strategic, and sustained.

  • We represent individuals seeking safety, freedom, and fairness.
  • We drive systemic change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and thought leadership that confronts inequity at its roots.
  • We empower mission-driven organizations by serving as their trusted advisors – representing nonprofits, social enterprises, and community groups around the globe.
  • We leverage firmwide expertise across every practice area to deliver comprehensive, business-minded legal support – from corporate and tax to real estate, employment, and IP.

We don’t just provide counsel – we build capacity. By sharing our legal skills, creativity, and commitment, we help our clients and partners strengthen their impact and extend justice to those who need it most.

Beyond pro bono


Our commitment to community runs deep and recognizes that communities need holistic support beyond just legal services.

Across the firm, our people roll up their sleeves to make a difference – investing in youth, revitalizing neighborhoods, and supporting organizations that strengthen our cities and regions.

Through hands-on service and charitable giving:

  • We mentor and tutor students in underserved schools.
  • We partner with organizations like Rise Against Hunger to combat food insecurity.
  • We restore and revitalize local parks, schools, and public spaces.
  • We serve on nonprofit boards and advisory committees.
  • We sponsor community fundraisers, walks, and runs.

Together, we’re building stronger communities and a lasting culture of service that extends far beyond our firm.
