Scornik Gerstein LLP has a long-term commitment to helping the poor, the powerless and the disenfranchised obtain first-rate representation without charge. Attorneys and other legal professionals give their time, resources and talent to serve individuals and organizations in need, to engage in important national litigation, and to partner with local legal service providers to ensure access to the justice system.
Our London Managing Partner Antonio Arenas serves as our Director of Pro Bono Services.
Our pro bono program is particularly noteworthy for the breadth of services it offers. These include litigation, both on behalf of individuals and groups, in matters of housing and public accommodations discrimination, civil liberties, immigration, criminal defence, prisoners' rights, consumer matters, and also transactional pro bono work, in such areas as corporate and tax assistance for non-profit organizations, intellectual property law, environmental and employee benefits and international trade law.
At Scornik Gerstein LLP, we encourage our lawyers to become involved in pro bono projects with the same unwavering dedication, commitment to hard work and legal excellence that they bring to all matters handled by the firm. The firm arranges training for lawyers interested in specialized areas of pro bono law as well as credit for pro bono work toward billable hour requirements. We also provide special hands-on pro bono programs for summer associates.
