Transactional attorneys sometimes shy away from pro bono work, fearing they lack the experience and skill set to help indigent individuals with their troubles. David S. Miller, a tax partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, proves that any attorney can apply his specialty to assisting pro bono clients.

Mr. Miller, 46, regularly provides tax counsel and business advice to many of Cadwalader’s pro bono clients, helping the client incorporate and obtain tax-exempt status. Under his guidance, Cadwalader attorneys have assisted more than 300 not-for-profit organizations, ranging from charitable associations to arts groups and institutions ranging from The Guggenheim Museum to the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
