Community Impact at Law Firms: How to Research It to Find the Right Firm for You

WATCH PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION

Most firms support some type of pro bono activities for their attorneys.  Some take an extra step and enable their attorneys to get involved in broader community activities.  This session answers several questions about these opportunities for community impact, including:

• What does community impact mean in law firms and, in particular, at Wilson Sonsini?
• How can junior attorneys get involved in community impact work at law firms?
• How does community get defined at multi-office firms? How does that affect the decisions they make about how to focus time and resources?
• If having your employer be community-focused is important to you, what should you be looking for in researching a firm? What kinds of questions should you ask at the interview and what should you be listening for in the answers?

Speaker:

Gail McFall, Wilson Sonsini
