Every year at Morgan Lewis, our lawyers and legal assistants devote tens of thousands of hours to pro bono clients. We have provided services to many hundreds of non-profit organizations and have changed the lives of thousands of individuals who otherwise would not have had access to representation. Our colleagues engage in these charitable activities because of their desire to make a difference for deserving people wherever they can.
We had many significant achievements last year as a result of the compassion and effort of those participating in our pro bono program. The substantial growth of our practice in the past is reflected in the following representative pro bono practice areas. Click on an area to read selected highlights of our efforts in 2006:
