Dow Jones Description
Sonnenschein attorneys are encouraged to become involved in pro bono work that adds value and is personally meaningful and rewarding. Full-time attorneys may credit the first 100 hours of time spent on pro bono client matters each year to their billable hour requirement. In 2008, we devoted more than 50,000 hours to providing pro bono legal counsel. This significant commitment places us among the top 26 law firms in the most recent annual Pro Bono rankings of the Top 200 grossing firms published by The American Lawyer. Guidance from our full-time Pro Bono Partner, as well as from our firmwide and local-office Pro Bono Committees, helps us focus our efforts on this important arena every day. Others take notice of our commitment to making a difference in our communities. For example, Public Counsel, the largest public interest pro bono law firm in the world, awarded our Los Angeles office its 2006 Public Counsel Law Firm Pro Bono Award as a result of the complex and difficult cases our attorneys handled and the extraordinary participation rate of attorneys, from senior partners to law clerks. Also in recent years, lawyers in our Chicago office received the Pro Bono Service Award and the Law Firm Mentoring Program of the Year Award from the Chicago Bar Association. ...
