Our 2018 Pro Bono Partner of the Year was Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. Orrick’s pro bono program has been praised for the dedication of its lawyers to supporting diverse causes with tangible results—including high-profile immigration disputes, civil rights litigation and grassroots global development through an innovative impact finance initiative. Orrick strategically allocates its pro bono resources to ensure that each lawyer’s work has the maximum impact for the client and the community. Pro bono work is essential to our firm’s culture and an important part of every lawyer’s contributions to our communities in each of our 26 offices across the globe. One of our many pro bono practice areas is work for veterans, spanning cases seeking VA benefits, discharge upgrades and many other issues.
Since 2013, lawyers from Orrick’s Bay Area offices have been involved with Swords to Plowshares’ Veterans Pro Bono Program, managing numerous full-scope cases and regularly staffing Legal Drop-in Clinics. In addition, we have had a continuous presence on Swords’ pro bono advisory board.
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP was recognized as Swords to Plowshares Pro Partner of the Year at the rescheduled 22nd Annual Veterans Day Dinner and Profiles of Courage Awards on January 17, 2019.
