Pro Bono recognition
Across the country, our lawyers and business professionals have been recognized for their commitment to pro bono. We are proud of the regional and national recognition we have received for our dedication to serving our communities.
We are grateful to the many legal services providers, nonprofits, thought leaders, and academic institutions we have the privilege of collaborating with. We have been delighted to participate in and learn from these experiences. We know that we are better when we come together to promote access to justice.
