The Pro Bono Partnership 2016 Gala celebrated the culture of pro bono and with its Champion Award honored distinguished leaders from corporations and law firms who demonstrate a deep commitment and strong passion for pro bono legal services.
In 2016, the Partnership honored Steven M. Edwards, of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, the law firm of Hogan Lovells US LLP, and the corporations of Pfizer Inc., Prudential Financial, Inc., and United Technologies Corporation. Our five honorees (pictured below) have each provided outstanding services to the community through their steadfast commitment to pro bono.
We also held our very first Text-to-Donate campaign, in which we raised more than $20,000 to support the provision of free legal services in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut!
