Baker Botts has long been committed to the communities in which we live and work, and helping those in need is a big part of that commitment. Each year, our lawyers provide thousands of hours of pro bono legal services on issues as broad as the varied interests of our lawyers.
Our trial lawyers typically volunteer their time and experience on problems ranging from adoption, child custody and other family law concerns to death penalty, civil rights, and federal and state constitutional law issues.
Transactional lawyers at Baker Botts volunteer on everything from matters requiring contract, corporate and tax advice to cases involving nonprofit agencies that provide services to children and families in need. In addition, our transactional lawyers also work with community development corporations and financial institutions that are striving to help impoverished neighborhoods and individuals, and they also donate their time and effort to an array of community and nonprofit organizations.
Our dedication to pro bono work is unwavering. Baker Botts strongly encourages our lawyers to devote time to pro bono legal work, and the full resources of the firm are available to serve pro bono clients. In year-end evaluations, time recorded by the lawyers on pro bono matters is valued on an equal basis with legal services provided to fee-paying clients. We encourage and recognize pro bono contributions because they're important for our firm and the communities in which we live.
Baker Botts is committed to supporting its lawyers' efforts to serve the less fortunate and nonprofit organizations in their various communities. Baker Botts will continue its steadfast dedication to providing services for those in need.
