We invest our time and skills to improve the communities in which we practice by providing pro bono legal services and engaging in other civic and charitable activities. Our commitment to pro bono work is mutually beneficial. We provide legal assistance to individuals of limited means and the organizations that serve them. At the same time, our lawyers gain invaluable experience and a greater understanding of the role of law in society. In 2006, Morgan Lewis lawyers contributed more than 80,000 hours to pro bono representations, at a value to our pro bono clients of tens of millions of dollars and equal an average of over 65 hours per lawyer.
Our attorneys are encouraged to become involved in public service at the earliest stages of their careers. Because we support public interest work, many of our lawyers have developed close lawyer-client relationships with significant public interest organizations, often serving on their boards of directors.
