We make one.

In our work and in our lives, we are committed to
making an IMPACT by engaging with our world to
drive change for the better. We lead lives that
extend beyond the professional services we offer
our clients − we also work and we live in service to
our communities. This is a foundational value of our
firm and part of the Kilpatrick Townsend culture.

It is who we are.
Not just what we do.

PRO BONO

KT IMPACT’s Pro Bono program honors the legal profession’s responsibility to serve individuals and organizations
that ordinarily cannot afford representation even when basic rights and interests are at stake. We believe in and
advocate for a legal system that works for everyone, regardless of economic or social status. Through pro bono
opportunities, we develop legal skills and engage with clients and circumstances we might not otherwise
encounter, making us better attorneys in the process.

• MORE THAN 39,000 HOURS OF LEGAL SERVICES donated annually by attorneys in these core areas:
· Children and education
· Homelessness and poverty
· Civil rights and criminal justice
· Human trafficking, asylum, and children’s immigration
· Community economic development
· Nonprofit organizations
· Domestic violence

• ALL ATTORNEYS at Kilpatrick Townsend engage in pro bono work and receive credit for doing so

• According to the American Lawyer, Kilpatrick Townsend ranks as one of the nation’s TOP LAW FIRMS FOR
BREADTH OF ATTORNEY ENGAGEMENT

• OUR ATTORNEYS COLLABORATE WITH FIRM CLIENTS on projects such as drafting pro bono patent
applications, staffing legal clinics for artists and non-profit organizations, litigating asylum claims, and
representing veterans
