2023 Pro Bono Impact Report

Last year was a banner year for Winston Pro Bono. We won the largest pro bono jury verdict in the firm’s history on behalf of one of the firm’s Racial Justice & Equity CEASE Initiative clients. We played an important role in addressing the migrant crises in New York City and Chicago. We also assisted political prisoners expelled from Nicaragua to file for asylum in the United States and continued our longstanding commitment to protecting the rights of death row inmates in Alabama. 

We are proud that Winston attorneys and professional staff devoted 70,000 pro bono hours to serving more than 1,100 clients in 2023. Just as important, more than 30% of those hours were in support of racial justice and equity matters, bringing us close to meeting the goal we set in 2020 to double the percentage of hours advancing the firm’s CEASE Initiative by 2025.
