Keeping up with their corporate clients, large law firms have set their eyes on charitable efforts beyond the traditional pro bono commitment. And one firm recently put the leader of those efforts in the C-suite.
In June, Julie Goodman became the first chief corporate social responsibility officer at Winston & Strawn, coordinating the firm’s volunteer efforts and charitable giving. In shaping the role, Goodman said, she has looked to corporate clients, rather than other law firms—clients like Bank of America and Motorola. She said she doesn’t know of any other law firms with a chief title for corporate social responsibility.
