One Thing BigLaw Gets Right

I don't want to be marked as a BigLaw Basher. Well, I am, but it is the business model as it applies to most work, not the people. Here is something that BigLaw does better than most; pro bono. The National Law Journal's varied pieces on "Pro Bono Awards" points to the pro bono work of BigLaw, and they certainly do a good job in that area.

Congratulations to Holland & Knight, Mayer Brown, Proskauer Rose, Manatt Phelps, Pillsbury Winthrop, and Howard Rice Nemerovski, the firms and projects profiled in NLJ's Pro Bono Awards.
