Pro Bono

Collaborating to Improve Lives and Communities

Pro Bono remains intrinsic to our values and identity. Mintz attorneys and professionals across roles actively contribute their extraordinary legal skills and the firm’s resources to bring about meaningful impact. Our distinguished pro bono endeavors persist in addressing a wide range of pressing societal issues and concerns, including asylum, domestic violence, small business support, guardianship, civil rights and liberties, substance use, nonprofit governance, and various other significant areas.

Mintz Cares

Sue Finegan

“I always wanted to be a lawyer so that I could help people... We’re really privileged to be at this firm where we are able to do systemic change work throughout the state and throughout the country around accessing justice for low-income litigants.”

Alec Zadek

“I’m focused now on making sure that survivors and nonprofits that work most closely with survivors are aware of the change in the law and that they can use it to remove some of those barriers that are holding them back.”

Mathilda McGee-Tubb

"There are incredible opportunities to be had both substantively, in various areas of law, and also professionally, to develop a wide variety of skills as a lawyer and to do good for the community while working on these cases."

Lavinia Weizel

“I think one of the great aspects of the Pro Bono Program is that it enables attorneys, sometimes even at more junior levels, to take a real leadership role in their cases.”

Nick Butto

"I'm so proud to work with Sanctuary, to represent these strong and brave individuals, and to support them as they use their voices, tell their stories, and secure their right to feel that they and their families are safe."

There’s more to being an attorney than knowing the law. It’s participating in your community, and, to a large extent, giving back. We need to bring our services to those who can use them most.
