Hunton & Williams Pro Bono Policy Statement: The practice of law is a service to society. Commitment to the highest professional standards when serving business clients is not alone sufficient to nurture a wholesome and worthy institution. We must also recognize as a core value of Hunton & Williams our companion commitment to serve the public welfare. When a citizen's access to justice is thwarted by inability to pay a legal fee, the fabric of our free society suffers. We as lawyers are obliged to use our best efforts to see that the economically disadvantaged receive adequate legal services.
Hunton & Williams expects all of its lawyers to perform substantial pro bono legal services each year. Each lawyer's pro bono efforts are considered during the firm's annual review to determine compensation and advancement.
Projects for pro bono include: Ark Shelter, North Carolina Center for Nonprofits, Durham Affordable Housing Coalition, Volunteer Lawyers Program, Project Together, and Capital Towers.
