A Message From the Editor

Good morning. The 2025 Pro Bono report is out: We tell you how firms are navigating the year's complex pro bono terrain, and also have a chart ranking U.S. firms by their score for pro bono work performed by lawyers based outside the United States. Meanwhile, it appears that Freshfields' leadership will remain at the helm for another term. In Germany, Bird & Bird has rehired an experienced patent litigator. And in Australia, HWL Ebsworth continues to grow, acquiring a firm in Adelaide.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
