The four discuss the critical role pro bono plays in times of crisis, especially in light of COVID-19; personal experiences that drive Duffy, Kaufman, and Greer to prioritize pro bono at the firm; Greenberg Traurig’s collaboration with clients and the community on pro bono work; and why these firm leaders focus on “doing well by doing good.”
