Patton Boggs has a long-standing commitment to the development and delivery of legal services to people of limited means. We believe that lawyers have a profound obligation to give back to their communities.

Patton Boggs has a long-standing commitment to the development and delivery of legal services to people of limited means. At the heart of Patton Boggs’ reputation for energy and excellence is the firm’s commitment to public service—we believe that lawyers have a profound obligation to give back to their communities. We also believe that pro bono work is good for the firm—community service fosters social justice, improves the quality of a lawyer’s life, has a positive effect on legal skills and enhances professionalism. The firm recommends that all lawyers do pro bono work, and requires that associates perform a minimum of 100 hours of pro bono service per year. We believe that the firm has maintained its remarkable pro bono momentum by developing an incredibly diverse range of opportunities for our volunteers.

We have embraced challenges from the American Bar Association and the leaders of the Bars in the jurisdictions in which we maintain offices to increase our commitment to pro bono. We do so gladly and without hesitation or reservation.
