Jami McKeon
Chair of the Firm
Our pro bono philosophy centers on infusing passion and empathy into every aspect of our work supporting individuals, collaborating with nonprofits, and assisting low-income entrepreneurs. Across all our global offices, our work embodies a deep commitment to advancing the public good and empowering those striving to uplift communities.
Our support for the most vulnerable in our global communities is unwavering—creating tangible impact through the pro bono work of every lawyer in our 30+ offices around the world.
Continuing Our Decades-Long Pro Bono Challenge to Serve Communities
Morgan Lewis fosters a culture of service by integrating charitable giving and volunteerism, contributing over $5 million to global causes such as the United Way and Red Cross in the past five years alone. We also know that volunteerism is vital for community support, and our civic engagement spans volunteerism in food banks, supporting our own colleagues impacted by natural disasters, and ensuring that low-income kids have holiday gifts.
Morgan Lewis ignites action and our passion for giving through a broad range of charitable and volunteerism efforts to uplift our communities.
Honoring 9/11 Day Through Volunteerism
Our firm is dedicated to supporting sustainability firmwide through our ML Sustainability Working Group, which includes more than 80 lawyers and staff. Our ESG & Sustainability Advisory practice also regularly collaborates with international organizations to champion sustainable initiatives and develop innovative approaches for greater environmental responsibility.
Sustainability considerations now impact virtually every facet of our firm’s operations and our work for clients to achieve their own sustainability objectives.
Uplift. Include. Empower. Across our global organization, we foster a culture of belonging where every individual can thrive, learn about allyship, and participate in initiatives that strengthen inclusion. We also offer up to 50 hours of billable credit annually for activities that advance inclusion—including direct leadership involvement and partnering with our clients to help them achieve their inclusion objectives.
Our dedication to Engagement and Inclusion is integral to how we bring together a variety of backgrounds and perspectives to succeed for our clients.
Building Legacy Together: Celebrating Five Years of MFE
Morgan Lewis is at the forefront of the legal well-being movement as a pioneering member of the Institute For Well-Being In Law and One Mind at Work, as well as one of the inaugural signatories of the ABA Well-Being Pledge. Through our innovative ML Well program, we empower our people with comprehensive resources and support for their professional growth while honoring their lives inside and outside the firm.
Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to well-being, ML Well aims to enable our lawyers and professional staff to find what uniquely works best for them as individuals.
