For the past several years, a large silver cup known as the Weil Cup has been on display at the Houston office of New York-based Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
The Weil Cup, which the firm instituted in 2006, honors the firm’s office that has the highest combined score based on average pro bono hours per attorney and percentage of individuals who perform more than 20 hours of pro bono a year, says partner Sylvia Mayer, chairwoman of the pro bono committee at Weil, Gotshal’s Houston office who serves on the firmwide pro bono committee.
