Legal Services Organizations

The success of Akin’s market-leading pro bono practice relies on close relationships with legal services organizations, which screen cases, refer them to our firm and help train and mentor our lawyers.

We work with a wide range of legal services organizations worldwide in various areas of public interest law.
