Skadden's dedication to pro bono work is a core aspect of our culture. Our founders believed not only in a lawyer’s social responsibility, but that we all benefit when the legal system is accessible to everyone. Those views continue to thrive at Skadden, where we have dedicated nearly 2 million hours firmwide to pro bono clients over the last 10 years alone. The firm gives billable hour credit for pro bono work, and our attorneys are involved in a wide variety of charitable endeavors. From day one, we encourage those at the firm to find a cause that sparks their interest and to match that interest to legal needs in our communities. Our pro bono work is diverse and far-reaching. In Hong Kong, it includes work related to the rights of migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers, and ethnic minorities; nonprofit incorporation and fundraising guidance, tax exemption and operations; legislative research; community development; and cases involving survivors of sexual violence.
