Impact. We make one. Our attorneys and staff are deeply committed to making positive, lasting change in our communities. We understand that the strategic combination of the various aspects of our IMPACT initiative -- community leadership, pro bono, volunteerism, diversity and sustainability -- can create a powerful ripple effect in the communities in which we work and live. Functioning together, these elements enable us to more fully engage in the community and produce positive change one life, one project, one commitment at a time.

Community Leadership

Nonprofit organizations are the fabric of our communities. To thrive, they need strong leadership. Kilpatrick Townsend lawyers serve on scores of nonprofit boards and are purposefully dedicated to ensuring that goals and objectives are met, lives are changed, impacts are made.

Pro Bono

Since the formalization of our Pro Bono Program in 2001, thousands of individuals and hundreds of community organizations have benefitted from the pro bono representation of our attorneys. This totals over 250,000 hours of time, a value of over $74 million. To learn more about our Pro Bono practice, please click here.

Volunteerism

There are 525,600 minutes in a year and we strive to make each one count. Through our award-winning volunteer program, attorneys and staff have the opportunity to serve their community and make an IMPACT.  In 2010, 35% of Employees in our U.S. Offices volunteered at firm-sponsored volunteer projects, 660 Lives potentially saved through the donation of 220 pints of blood, over 100 Walkers supported research & programs for 6 health related non-profits, and 5 Backpack Challenges prepared over 950 children for the 2010-11 school year.
