The National Legal Aid & Defender Association has named Gibson Dunn a 2026 Beacon of Justice Award honoree. The awards recognize firms for their exceptional commitment to protecting democracy and civil society through pro bono legal service. Honorees have advanced justice in areas including immigration, freedom of speech, and domestic violence, while working to dismantle systemic barriers that limit access to legal assistance.

Gibson Dunn’s pro bono practice is dedicated to protecting democracy and civil society, both in the U.S. and abroad. Firmwide, we dedicated approximately 241,000 hours of pro bono work to these goals, from pursuing justice for women and girls to defending First Amendment freedoms, and from representing immigrants and the nonprofit organizations that serve them to litigating cases addressing some of the most critical issues of the day.
