Introduction

Nurturing Communities

Within our corporate culture, the success of our firm is wholly reliant on the collective and collaborative nature of our greatest assets — our people. In no facet of our business is this more true than in our pro bono program. With creative thinking and a sense of purpose, we are able to formulate model projects that can be replicated to expand our reach, and inspire others to participate.

With that bigger picture mindset comes the responsibility — and desire — to nurture and promote those ideas that have the potential for exponential positive impact. The reward comes in the words and on the faces of those we are able to help.

Year after year, we are moved by the incredible stories of the deserving individuals and organizations that reap the benefits of the firm's dedication to pro bono work. This journal is a reflection of that commitment — one that is as much about providing legal services to those most in need, as it is about planting and cultivating the seeds that, over time, create a vibrant landscape of thriving communities.
