At Fish, we are committed to making
pro bono work an integral part of our professional culture, and we strongly encourage all of our legal professionals to take on
pro bono matters as an integral part of their professional lives. We back up this commitment by providing our attorneys with full hours credit for approved
pro bono matters, and by assigning a principal-level attorney in each of our U.S. offices with the task of seeking out and publicizing local
pro bono opportunities.
We are a member firm of the Pro Bono Institute (PBI), and in selecting matters for
pro bono representation, we are guided by the PBI's definition of
pro bono legal work, which emphasizes the provision of legal services to persons and nonprofit organizations with limited means, and the protection of important civil and public rights. A more complete description of our recent
pro bono efforts is located
here.
