Community Is Everything
Giving back is part of who we are at Davis+Gilbert. So is New York, which is woven into the very fabric of our firm. We’re proud to actively support the people, cultures and causes of our extraordinary city.
Davis+Gilbert has been active in local issues and initiatives over the past century. We are committed to serving the communities of New York and giving back daily. Our pro bono and corporate social responsibility programs allow our attorneys and professional staff to make a difference using their own unique skills and following their own special passions.
As a firm, we provide tangible support for pro bono and corporate social responsibility efforts. We are pleased to offer nearly every available paid service to our pro bono clients. Attorneys and professional staff often participate together in community projects, reflecting our shared culture and purpose.
Pro Bono
The vast majority of our attorneys participate in pro bono work, with each allotted at least 50 annual credit hours for pro bono efforts. New Davis+Gilbert attorneys often bring their own pro bono projects aboard, where they are given the same careful consideration and counsel all of our clients receive.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Davis+Gilbert is privileged to give back to the community. For example, in recent years, we have hosted clothing drives, collected and donated eyeglasses, and packaged meals. Below we highlight some of the partnerships that facilitate our efforts and that further the mission central to our CSR philosophy.
New York Cares meets pressing needs by engaging caring New Yorkers in volunteer service. Davis+Gilbert has been helping the organization fulfill Winter Wishes since 2013, granting wishes and gathering gifts for disadvantaged children, teens and seniors. In addition to providing holiday gifts, attorneys and staff have also performed park revitalizations and created caring blankets for senior citizens with New York Cares.
Ronald McDonald House New York provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. This organization has provided housing to more than 35,000 families since its founding in 1979. Davis+Gilbert volunteers help assemble breakfast bags and holiday kits to send to patients and caregivers staying at the house.
Rise Against Hunger works to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives, and responding to emergencies. Davis+Gilbert volunteers package and prepare meals for distribution throughout the world to remote, last-mile communities with hunger pockets designated “serious” or higher on the Global Hunger Index.
