Our Commitment to Pro Bono Doing What Matters Most

Pro Bono in 2007

More than 92,000 hours were spent on pro bono representations, at a value to our pro bono clients of tens of millions of dollars.

More than 75% of the firm's attorneys contributed at least 20 hours to a pro bono matter; representations span all practice groups and offices.

Representations included more than 1,100 active matters, including 425 new matters.

Full "above the line" credit given for pro bono time charges.

Morgan Lewis is a signatory to the Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge.

The 20-Hour Challenge

"In 2007, over a thousand Morgan Lewis lawyers donated time to the representation of a worthy individual or nonprofit organization in need. Small or large, each of these matters was critically important to the client we served."
