In 2023, and every year since the inception of the DC Access to Justice Commission’s Raising the Bar in DC Campaign in 2010, WilmerHale has been proud to be a Gold Level supporter of the DC legal aid community.
The Raising the Bar in DC Campaign increases financial support for legal aid organizations that serve low- and moderate-income District residents facing domestic violence, housing instability and other social and economic stressors.
By establishing charitable giving benchmarks for law firms, through which firms commit to donate a minimum percentage of their DC office revenue, the Campaign successfully raised $6.6 million in 2023 for civil legal aid programs.
WilmerHale was proud to be part of the Leadership Circle firms in 2023, contributing .09% of DC office revenue, and looks forward to participating in this important campaign for years to come.
