Dechert has a long-standing tradition of providing pro bono legal services to individuals and organizations who cannot otherwise afford legal counsel. We approach pro bono engagements with the same energy, enthusiasm and resources as we do work for commercial clients, and our associates receive billable-hour credit for their pro bono work. All lawyers are required to perform at least 25 hours of pro bono work per year. We strive to find projects that make a difference in our communities and match the interests and skillsets of our lawyers.
