Pro Bono

Skadden’s dedication to pro bono work is a core aspect of our culture. Our founders believed not only in a lawyer’s social and civic responsibilities, but that we all benefit when the legal system is accessible to everyone. Those views continue to thrive at Skadden.

The firm gives billable hour credit for pro bono work, and from day one, our people are encouraged to find a cause that sparks their interest and to match that interest to legal needs in our communities. Attorneys and business services professionals across our offices are engaged in a wide variety of nonpartisan charitable endeavors, relating to nonprofit organizations, criminal justice, housing, family law, public benefits, veterans and many other areas.
