Pro Bono
Challenging pro bono work has long been a cornerstone of our practice. The full resources of the Firm are brought to bear in support of every pro bono matter; we treat our pro bono clients with care, respect and professionalism.
Our pro bono work also provides a meaningful way for our lawyers to develop and strengthen their legal skills. Associates and summer associates are encouraged to take on pro bono clients, and they are instructed to provide them with the same top‑tier representation we offer our paying clients. Under a partner’s supervision, associates have taken the lead in cases where they represent domestic violence survivors, hospitalized children, wrongfully convicted inmates, victims of various types of discrimination, and many others. Associates have provided transactional advice to non‑profit organizations, and they have worked on precedent‑setting litigation in areas that range from civil rights to copyright law. Pro bono opportunities are readily available to lawyers in all the Firm’s practice areas.
