DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE
2023 Pro Bono & Social Impact Report
SCROLL





This report is more than just an annual document highlighting our achievements in pro bono and social impact.
It celebrates the communities and causes we’ve had the great privilege to represent in 2023. It recognizes the invaluable partnerships we’ve forged with nonprofits and in-house legal departments to optimize the good done in the world. It allows us to express our gratitude for the attorneys and staff who selflessly give of their time and talent to help those who need it the most. And perhaps most importantly, it underscores the tremendous difference this work makes for underrepresented and marginalized communities that lack meaningful access to legal information, representation, and counseling.
In 2023, we devoted over 28,595 hours to helping underrepresented communities across the nation access justice and equity. This annual report unpacks the stories behind the numbers. It also allows us to express our gratitude for the numerous in-house teams that partner with us to help clients access justice, and allows us to spotlight the outstanding legal-service organizations that make this work possible. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.
We hope these pages lift your spirits, fill your hearts, and inspire you to continue making justice accessible for all, and not just those who can afford it. Thank you for your unwavering support and partnership in doing good. We couldn’t do this important work without you.
With deep gratitude,
