Hunton Andrews Kurth Receives Highest Honor at the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program’s 2024 Pro Bono Awards

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is proud to announce that for an unprecedented fourth time since 2018, the firm was named Law Firm of the Year at the 2024 Pro Bono Awards hosted by the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP). DVAP, in conjunction with the Dallas Bar Association and the Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, hosts the annual awards event to recognize extraordinary service in support of their programs for people in need in the Dallas community.

When announcing the award, president of the Dallas Bar Association Bill Mateja touted the firm’s lawyers and paralegals for donating thousands of hours to pro bono service in the Dallas community. This includes the firm’s efforts to incept and maintain the DVAP’s virtual clinic platform, which has served more than 19,200 applicants, our achievement of placing and servicing dozens of direct pro bono matters from the community through DVAP, and our dedication to continuing the Small Business Clinics in conjunction with community partners across Dallas.

“This recognition reflects the outstanding teamwork, leadership, and dedication of our attorneys and paralegals in the Dallas office as well as the steadfast support of our committed staff members,” said Fawaz Bham, partner and chair of the firm’s Dallas office pro bono committee. “We are incredibly proud of our contributions to enhance our local communities and we deeply value the opportunity to continue strengthening our enduring partnership with DVAP.”
