Washington, DC—The District of Columbia Judicial Conference’s Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services honored Dentons’ Washington, DC office at its 11th annual “40 at 50” Judicial Pro Bono Recognition Breakfast, recognizing the Firm for outstanding dedication to pro bono service. Held at the E. Barrett Prettyman US Courthouse, Dentons was honored for achieving the “40 at 50” goal, in which over 40 percent of the Firm’s Washington, DC-based lawyers performed at least 50 hours of pro bono work in 2013.

The breakfast was presided over by the chief judges of the capital’s federal courts and included Chief Judge Garland of the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit and Chief Judge Roberts of the US District Court for the District of Columbia as speakers. Washington, DC Health Care partner and office managing partner Bruce Fried and Energy partner Presley Reed represented Dentons at the event.

Corporate social responsibility is an intrinsic part of Dentons' positive and forward-thinking culture, one that has always been critical to the Firm’s success and the success of our clients. Dentons provides pro bono assistance on many levels, including one-on-one legal counsel, class-action lawsuits brought on behalf of a group of individuals, and legal clinics in partnership with legal service organizations. This diverse approach makes Dentons’ pro bono program unique and enables the Firm’s lawyers to live up to their social responsibility.
