More than 2,000 passionate, energized members work together to promote justice, diversity, equity and inclusion; create a more sustainable future; and volunteer and give to a wide range of causes close to our hearts.

In addition, we provide comprehensive pro bono legal and community services to those in need. All lawyers are encouraged to get involved, with your efforts viewed as equivalent to billable hours. We see serving the global community as personal and professional responsibilities, and we strive to expand our contributions every year.

Our Firm-wide Pro Bono and Community Service Partner and the committee chair are dedicated to ensuring that we provide the same exacting standards of quality, service and care that paying clients receive.
