International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP is pleased to announce that its Hong Kong office has received for the sixth consecutive year the Hong Kong Council of Social Service’s Caring Company award in recognition of the Firm’s commitment to caring for community, employees and the environment.
At Dorsey, community is a core value. Dorsey lawyers and staff honor a long legal tradition of using their abilities and resources for the benefit of others, whether it is helping the underprivileged gain access to the legal system through pro bono work, providing financial support to charitable organisations or devoting personal time in volunteer service. Whenever possible, Dorsey lawyers and staff partner with clients to serve our communities together.
Dorsey people take a personal interest in the vitality of communities around the globe where the Firm has offices, and the Firm’s community involvement program supports individual commitments to community service and leadership. The Firm organises and mobilises Dorsey attorneys and staff, connecting them to volunteer opportunities and supporting their efforts.
