YMCA of Greater Charlotte

Our commitment to pro bono work and community service was stated plainly by Ambassador Philip H. Alston, Jr. Our firm, he said, “[has] always shared an awareness of the community as a whole and … demonstrated a sense of responsibility towards supporting worthwhile activities in bar, civic, educational, and religious related affairs. Our lawyers have all been encouraged to participate in such work to the extent each felt so inclined with only a precautionary proviso that participation should not interfere with their obligations to the clients of this firm nor with their performance as professionals.”

This commitment remains a cornerstone of Alston & Bird, and we continue to dedicate our time and resources to support it. Our dedication arises not from an institutional mandate but from our firm culture, which from the beginning has encouraged service to others and involvement in the communities that support our lives and our livelihood.
