Law firms often have a long list of practice areas posted prominently on their websites. Davis Polk & Wardwell is no exception. But the Davis Polk home page also includes a link to its pro bono practice areas that is broader than some firms’ for-profit interests. It includes 25 practice areas from amicus briefs to wills and covers matters as far flung as the arts and domestic violence, the death penalty and microfinance, court reform and veterans’ assistance, asylum and real estate, Bet Tzedek (work for Holocaust survivors) and transgender rights.
Over the past three years, the firm’s attorneys have devoted thousands of hours to pro bono service, according to The Legal Aid Society, which nominated Davis Polk. And as a result of the firm’s efforts, a man on death row obtained a new trial, individuals fleeing persecution gained asylum, victims of domestic violence escaped their batterers, workers obtained wrongly denied wages and non-profit organizations received assistance.
