Dentons today released its third Global Social Impact report, an annual collection of the Firm's work in communities around the world.

"As the world's first and only polycentric firm, our in and of the community approach is central to who we are," Elliott Portnoy, Global CEO and Joe Andrew, Global Chairman, state in the report. "Our commitment to pursue justice and work to alleviate hardship by partnering with our local communities, and the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits that serve them, has expanded as our Firm's footprint has grown in 2015."

The report highlights only a fraction of the Firm's efforts. In 2015, Dentons' lawyers provided more than 75,000 hours of pro bono counsel, and our lawyers, professionals and staff collaborated with more than 300 NGOs and nonprofits across the globe.

"Corporate social responsibility is an intrinsic part of Dentons' positive and forward-thinking culture,"explains Ben Weinberg, Pro Bono Partner. "Our pro bono work not only contributes to our professional development and our lawyers' and other professionals' desire to make a lasting and positive impact on their communities, but also reinforces our entrepreneurial approach to solving problems in today's complex world."

In 2016, we look forward to leveraging our expansion into new regions and growth in our existing regions to expand our involvement with organizations, clients and one another to make an even greater impact.
