A Message from Our Pro Bono Committee Co-Chairs

At Foster Garvey, our commitment to pro bono service is a core part of our identity. This report is a testament to the partnerships we have built—with nonprofits, pro bono legal organizations and individual clients—in our shared pursuit to expand access to justice for all.

This holiday season, we celebrate the relationships we’ve built and pay tribute to the dedication of our attorneys and staff. In 2025, they contributed more than 3,161 hours of their skill and passion to champion those most in need.

In addition to our pro bono and community service work, we have taken steps to enhance transparency and access to opportunity within our firm. We are honored to share that Foster Garvey achieved Diversity Lab’s Mansfield Certification status for 2024-2025. A structured certification process, Mansfield is designed to increase transparency and broaden opportunities at participating law firms to ensure all qualified talent is considered for leadership roles. Thank you to our Opportunity and Progress Council for facilitating this important achievement and for being unwavering champions of equity and inclusion in the legal profession.

Such work is never complete. Our pro bono and diversity programs are continuously evolving, and there will always be room for growth. Yet we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring everyone has access to opportunity and high-quality legal representation.

Thank you for standing with us in this essential work. We look forward to what we will achieve together in 2026.

With sincere appreciation,

Malcolm Seymour
