Social Responsibilities

Giving back is important to us. Over the years, our very committed and generous lawyers and staff fundraise for, participate in, and give to, worthwhile charities and non-profits in our communities. We launched MisGives, which provides us with an opportunity to bring our community involvement together across all of our offices. For example, the firm’s annual United Way campaign is widely supported by the staff and lawyers and the firm matches staff contributions in many of our charitable activities. In recent years, the firm has raised donations for the Abu Dhabi Red Cross to support relief effort.

We ensure our contributions reach various segments of our community, including children and youth, arts, education, health, services and international fundraisers.

Our staff and lawyers are committed to donating their time to the community through serving on the boards of charities, non-profits and community organizations.
