Serving Our World
We staff and support pro bono work with the same enthusiasm and resources that we devote to our billable work. Kirkland’s pro bono program provides free legal services to individuals who cannot afford representation, organizations that advocate for them, and organizations that secure or protect civil and public rights.
All our attorneys — from summer associates to senior partners — have opportunities to work on a broad variety of projects that appeal to their unique interests, time availability, and experience. Our award-winning pro bono work includes immigration law, disability rights, civil rights, death penalty cases and criminal appeals, discrimination cases, health and patient rights, veterans’ benefits, and the representation and counsel of various nonprofit organizations, among other areas.
Any Kirkland attorney, including associates, can bring a pro bono matter to the Firm for consideration. Every pro bono matter is treated like a paying-client matter; all the Firm’s resources are available to our pro bono teams. Kirkland encourages and provides robust support to all lawyers who want to serve individuals or communities through pro bono efforts. Every hour of pro bono work counts as billable equivalent, hour for hour, with no cap.
It’s a privilege to show up for our clients and communities all around the world.
