Pro bono
Serving individuals in need and organizations that make a difference
White & Case is one of the world’s largest providers of free legal services to individuals, nonprofits and non-governmental organizations and communities in need.
For more than 100 years, we have applied our legal skills and knowledge towards pro bono efforts to strengthen the rule of law, fight injustice and protect the environment.
More than 100 partners and counsel serve as Pro Bono Leaders, who help White & Case’s Global Pro Bono Practice achieve lasting impacts worldwide.
High-impact successes for the public good
Our cutting-edge pro bono work—including projects addressing racial and gender equality, immigrant rights and climate change—makes a tangible difference in people’s lives. Our Racial Justice Task Force, in particular, works to eliminate these inequities through criminal justice system reform, education and economic empowerment.
Partnering with clients, NGOs and others
We undertake a wide variety of successful pro bono collaborations with our corporate clients and provide free legal assistance to more than 800 nonprofits and non-governmental organizations that focus on human rights, access to justice, good governance, environmental protection and social issues.
100 percent Firmwide participation
Every year, lawyers in all of our offices and 100 percent of our practices participate in pro bono. In 2023, our people contributed more than 105,000 hours of free legal services to assist our pro bono clients and partner organizations.
Pro bono secondments
Our associates discuss their two-week secondments with European Lawyers in Lesvos.
