“The Washington office of Skadden Arps is partnering with LivingSocial, Northrop Grumman and Cisco Systems, as well as a trio of local legal aid groups, to start a pro bono initiative aimed at helping low-income D.C. residents.
Attorneys at major law firms have long worked with legal aid groups to assist pro bono clients, and corporate legal departments are increasingly building pro bono programs for in-house lawyers. But this initiative, called the Impact Project, marks the first time Skadden is formalizing a partnership with the companies and legal aid organizations — Children’s Law Center, Legal Aid Society of D.C. and Bread for the City — in tandem.”
