FIRMS IN SERVICE—RICHMOND® is a collaborative effort of sixteen law firms and businesses that have committed to increasing the availability of pro bono legal services for the underserved in the Greater Richmond community. Each member firm commits to providing volunteer hours (2% of billable hours) and financial support for pro bono. Since 2007, the pro bono leadership of these firms have met regularly for the purposes of sharing information about their respective pro bono and community service programs and seeking ways in which, working together, they can enhance the availability of quality legal services to needy citizens in the Greater Richmond area. The FIS members share the belief that in the field of pro bono and community service, the principles of traditional competition among law firms should not, and do not, apply.
