Pro Bono

Passionate advocates.

Driven to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.

Giving back through pro bono service is an integral part of Quarles. It’s in our DNA. Representing those without the resources to represent themselves is our responsibility, a calling and core to our promise of shared purpose. Our commitment to the communities where we live and work is tireless. Each year since 2004, we have committed to the Pro Bono Institute’s target for firms to donate the equivalent of at least 3% of total billable hours to pro bono work for low-income individuals and community organizations.

The gap we work to bridge.

We recognize there is a gap—a substantial one, in fact—between those who need legal representation and those who can access it. Too many people are forced to go it alone when facing a crisis related to areas such as eviction, immigration, veterans benefits and domestic violence. By donating our time, skills and resources, our people help reduce this justice gap and provide invaluable support to individuals and families in need.

Partnering with others dedicated to the cause.

We partner with community organizations, law schools, civil legal aid providers and clients to deliver creative and innovative pro bono assistance and solutions. The organizations with whom we partner include the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program, Legal Services Corporation, Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), HIAS, Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and more. Together, we create committed teams that others count on for passionate advocacy. It is our honor to care for and represent those in need.

Helping Others is Its Own Reward

Our enduring commitment to pro bono service is grounded in our belief that we have an obligation to help those in need and to address the justice gap in this country. But this work comes with invaluable rewards: The feeling you get when you’ve made a meaningful difference in the life of someone who had nowhere else to turn. Partners Jake Bradley, Emily Feinstein and Steven Hunter share more about the emotional impact of their pro bono work in this video.

A Great Way to Grow and Develop

While our commitment to pro bono is primarily about our belief in the importance of helping those who otherwise might not be able to access legal support, it also provides important professional development opportunities to our attorneys and business professionals. You can hear more in these videos about how providing pro bono service helps our people learn and grow professionally.
