Snell & Wilmer Recognized as Orange County Business Journal 2019 Civic 50 Honoree

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Oct. 3, 2019 - PRLog -- Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce its inclusion in the 2019 Orange County Business Journal Civic 50 list. This is the third consecutive year the firm has received this honor.

The Civic 50, presented by the OCBJ in partnership with OneOC, recognizes the 50 most community-minded companies in Orange County. The list sets the standard for corporate civic engagement and is a roadmap for companies seeking to best use their time, talent and resources to improve the quality of life in communities where they do business. Honorees are selected based on four dimensions of their U.S. community engagement programs: investment, business integration, institutionalization, and social and business impact.

"We are very excited to be continually recognized as a community leader in Orange County by the OCBJ. We take pride in both our extensive volunteer and pro bono work," said Ketan Vakil, managing partner of Snell & Wilmer's Orange County office. "These are cornerstones of our firm and something we've worked hard to establish in our 30 years in Orange County. We look forward to being part of this community for many more years to come."

At the core of Snell & Wilmer is the desire to help people and make a difference. The firm credo emphasizes the importance of community involvement and giving back. Pro bono work is strongly encouraged as a way attorneys can help serve their communities and profession. In 2018, nearly 80 percent of attorneys firm-wide donated their time to 349 pro bono matters, representing approximately 14,400 hours donated. In the Orange County office alone, attorneys donated nearly 1,600 hours of their time to pro bono matters. Attorneys are often recognized for their pro bono work, including Orange County partner Sean M. Sherlock who was named 'Attorney of the Year' by the Public Law Center in May for his dedication and service to the organization.
