Aetna pioneered the concept of legal department pro bono in 1981, establishing Connecticut Lawyers Legal Aid for the Elderly to provide a broad spectrum of legal services to seniors in the Hartford area.

Today, that program is just one of several pro bono initiatives underway at Aetna. In recognition of the legal department’s proactive pro bono partnering with law firms, other corporations and non-profit agencies, Corporate Pro Bono (CPBO) recently awarded Aetna the Corporate Pro Bono Partner Award.
