Executive Leadership Goals
Service becomes an integral part of a culture when everyone witnesses it in action and we treat giving back as a shared responsibility across the firm. When leaders lend their time and expertise through active community service and pro bono support, they set the tone for our entire organization and inspire ripple effects that extend beyond our offices. In 2025, we formalized what had always been part of our culture, asking every leader to take an active role in giving back. The response was unanimous.
Leading through Service
Our firm takes its role as a philanthropic leader seriously, and we always have. From our earliest community commitments to today’s integrated approach, we view giving as a core driver of our culture. Brownstein has developed into an organization where philanthropy isn’t just a practice; it is a defining part of who we are and how we show up.
In 2025, Brownstein employees spent 18, 544 total hours serving others.
Service as a Culture
Giving back takes many forms. Our attorneys provide pro bono legal support to organizations and individuals who would not otherwise have access to quality representation, from counsel for nonprofit partners to legal clinics for low-income community members. Employees across the firm show up through Karma projects, lending their time and energy to the communities that need it most. And we all do it together. Regardless of how we show up, we’re all in.
Leading Together
The Karma Program is one way Brownstein puts its values into action. By supporting employees in the causes they care about most, from youth development to historic preservation, we amplify the good work happening across our communities and the people making it possible.
Our firm hosted 152 Karma Projects totally 1,923 hours of service.
Brownstein is committed to Giving Back. Last year, we completed 12,185 hours of work for our pro bono clients and 6,360 volunteer hours through Karma Projects and nonprofit board service.
