It is our policy to support the charities that matter most to our attorneys and staff by providing priority to funding those organizations for whom our people serve as board members.

In addition to being the right things to do, pro bono and public service work are also important factors in our compensation systems. Our business does not operate in a vacuum. A vital, thriving community is a better place to live and work, and Baker Donelson continues to do its part.
