We believe in our community. It's that simple.
At Hodgson Russ, we engage in social programs that have a lasting impact on our communities. We embrace our role as responsible corporate citizens, and we work hard to identify causes that have meaning to our attorneys, our staff, and our communities. We strive to raise awareness for these causes and to support them in meaningful ways, through our charitable foundation, our pro bono work, and our diversity and inclusion initiatives. In addition to financial support, we are directly involved in the organizations and causes we believe in, whether that means serving meals at soup kitchens, building beds for society's neediest young members, or providing pro bono legal services to immigrants and others in need.
