Morgan Lewis also prides itself in a commitment to community—one reflected in its pro bono, civic, and philanthropic affairs throughout the city. Among the Philadelphia office’s longstanding clients are many of the region's major civic, cultural, and nonprofit organizations, such as the Philadelphia Art Museum, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Support Center for Child Advocates.
