Familiar names Adsan Law, Allen & Gledhill, WongPartnership, Dentons Rodyk and Rajah & Tann were ranked the five best law firms in the charities, not-for-profit associations and pro bono category of Singapore's Best Law Firms 2024.
The firms all have an established tradition in charitable work, reflected through the diverse programmes and the sum of all their volunteer contributions and pro bono services, which would have tallied over $1 million last year.
Adsan Law's chief executive Susan Peh said: "In a dynamic landscape of undulating changes, it is never easy doing pro bono work. However, the sense of gratification often outweighs any challenge.
"If we can all collectively and individually weave together in purpose and with compassion, we can create a strong tapestry of humanity in legal practice, beyond court or office walls, that endures the trials of time."
Adsan Law, which has been holding pole position in this category since the survey started four years ago, organises visits to homes in addition to pro bono work.
For National Day 2023, the firm initiated a crowdfunding project that involved a musical video production, a dance workout and a song written and performed by its staff. All funds raised went to a nominated charity.
The firm also incentivises its staff to volunteer for corporate social responsibility activities by granting additional paid leave or time off.
