Corporate Client Partnerships
In times of great uncertainty, we are listening closely to our clients and are helping them develop solutions to maintain the integrity of their pro bono programs. Our dedicated pro bono lawyers also help clients maintain momentum in specific projects—seeking to achieve social impact and encompass the interests and talents of everyone in their legal departments.
Representative Matters
- Worked with Walmart to develop the first medical-legal partnership (MLP) by a corporate legal department. The retail giant has forged an MLP with Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Legal Aid of Arkansas by which attorneys from Legal Aid, Walmart or one of Walmart’s pro bono partners provide on-site assistance to families in order to solve legal problems that may exacerbate the illness or condition being treated.
- The partnership is chronicled in “An Innovative Model for Collaborative Pro Bono,” where partner Steven Schulman, Walmart Associate General Counsel Lori Chumbler, and Ellen Lawton from the National Center for Medical Legal Partnership, discussed the success of the MLP in Law360.
- Established an initiative with AT&T to jointly represent military veterans seeking military discharge upgrades through The Veterans Consortium's Discharge Upgrade Program. In “Pro Bono Partnership Helps Vets Fix Wrongful Discharges,” Corporate Counsel Business Journal interviewed pro bono partner Steven Schulman and corporate partner Thomas Yang, as well as Tamera Woodard from AT&T.
- Pioneered a remote clinic model which allowed multiple clients—in industries ranging from consumer products to financial services to private equity—to partner with us to help undocumented children apply for relief from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
