K&L Gates' Global Day of Service
Lawyers and staff from K&L Gates used their Global Day of Service to help serve more than 70 charitable organizations across the five continents where it has offices. In DC, more than 70 lawyers worked with the Capital Area Food Bank, DC Central Kitchen and Martha's Table. Above, a K&L Gates team helped prepare food for the DC Central Kitchen.
Lawyers and staff made 450 sandwiches for Martha’s Table, arranged more than 400 boxes of food at the Capital Area Food Bank and prepped food for DC Central Kitchen. It's the third year the firm made this week-long volunteer effort. Last year, the firm's Global Day of Service had more than 2,000 participants.
This team sorted goods for the Capital Area Food Bank. The firm takes on pro bono work, including: the recent launch of the Cyber Civil Rights Legal Project (more than 60 lawyers in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia helping victims of nonconsensual pornography); representation of the family and estate of a deceased Navy Seal and CIA contractor in a death benefits and insurance claim; support of Kids in Need of Defense (addressing legal challenges of unaccompanied minors entering the US); and repping a client in a pre-embryo custody dispute.
