After eight years and a stellar track record boosting pro bono participation and results at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, Scot Fishman is heading to Shook, Hardy & Bacon to direct the firm’s pro bono programs.

In his first year as pro bono director at Manatt, Fishman’s efforts led to a 33% increase in average hours and over 61% rise in participation. At no time before the pandemic did Manatt’s rank fall below 35th in the Am Law 200 Pro Bono Scorecard, and in 2019 it reached an all-time firm record of 23rd.
