Pro Bono

Anderson & Kreiger’s very first case, a pro bono suit, achieved the clean-up of a contaminated public water supply. Over 30 years later, we keep scoring those kinds of victories.  Our pro bono efforts range from complex, high-impact pro bono cases to those protecting the rights of individual clients.  We encourage all of our lawyers to perform pro bono work and treat billable and pro bono hours the same for purposes of attorney compensation.  A recent survey revealed that our clients like this about us. And we know that it makes us better lawyers.

Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly has twice recognized A&K attorneys with their “Excellence in Pro Bono” award.  Our pro bono partners have also recognized our efforts.  In 2020, Greater Boston Legal Services awarded our firm the “Pro Bono Champion” award and the PAIR Project awarded A&K the “Pro Bono Asylum” award at their annual gala.

Our recent efforts include:
