Blank Rome Recognized in The American Lawyer’s 2023 Pro Bono Scorecard
Blank Rome LLP is pleased to announce that our firm was once again recognized in The American Lawyer’s Pro Bono Scorecard for pro bono work completed as well as dedicated hours and commitment to providing pro bono assistance in 2022.
In this year’s scorecard, our firm was ranked 49th nationally for pro bono services provided by Am Law 200 firms. Notably, our attorneys donated an average number of 45 hours per person. Furthermore, Blank Rome was ranked 27th nationwide among Am Law 200 firms for its breadth of commitment to pro bono service, determined by the percentage of attorneys who completed 20 pro bono hours or more in the prior year. Blank Rome has a formal pro bono policy that requires each of our attorneys and paralegals to undertake at least 25 hours of pro bono service.
According to The American Lawyer, "law firms' pro bono investments have rebounded through 2022" and "lawyers spent significantly more time on public interest work" than in 2021.
