Community Service
Patton Boggs attorneys and staff undertake many initiatives to help improve life in our communities through efforts that do not involve legal representation. Below are descriptions of some of the many projects we have been involved with over the years.
Patton Boggs 2008 Social Responsibility Report
To access the full report, click here.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Patton Boggs is a new initiative for our firm and for law firms everywhere. We are among very few U.S.- based law firms undertaking this effort. We do so because we are committed to excellence in everything we do and because we recognize that we have sometimes fallen short of that standard.
This CSR report is both a yardstick that measures how well we have done in some areas (pro bono work for example) and how much we have to do in other areas, such as better managing our environment.
This report describes these activities in four major CSR pillars:
• Our Community
• Our People
• Environmental Stewardship
• Workplace Health and Safety
Firm Sponsors The Salvation’s Army’s Toyland; Collects Hundreds of Toys

For the third consecutive year, Patton Boggs sponsored The Salvation Army's Toyland drive in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Working with the organization and TV station NBC 4, volunteers from the firm's DC and Northern Virginia offices is collecting toys at drop-off bins in both offices, with DC partners Jennifer Richter and De Smith adding their support by taping a public service announcement which is being aired on NBC4 during the drive to promote our efforts.
In addition, the firm held an internal kick-off event in the DC office, where staff and attorneys were treated to holiday carols sung by children from the Capitol Kids Daycare and grateful remarks from local NBC 4 news anchor Barbara Harrison and Salvation Army Captain Steve Morris, before managing partner Stuart Pape presented The Salvation Army with a $5,000 donation. The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1 (Washington, D.C.) contacted the firm after seeing the TV spot last year and has joined our efforts.
Dallas Holiday Giving Committee Especially Generous This Season
The firm’s Dallas office had a very successful year with its collection and distribution of food and gifts.
The Holiday Giving Committee spearheaded a Thanksgiving celebration by generously giving food to J.J. Rhodes Learning Center. Baskets were distributed to 16 families at the Center, and the parents, students, and staff thanked everyone at Patton Boggs for their generosity.
Attorneys and staff in Dallas also donated gifts and money to organizations they chose to support this year. The firm fulfilled the wish lists for 17 children from Happy Hill Farm, 17 families from Frost Elementary, and donated enough funds to Union Gospel Mission for a washer and dryer set.
