HOUSTON – Troutman Pepper Locke has been recognized by Houston Volunteer Lawyers (HVL) as an Equal Access to Justice Champion, surpassing its pro bono case pledge for the 2025 to 2026 bar year by 257 percent. The honor recognizes the firm’s commitment to pro bono service and its efforts to promote access to justice for individuals in need across the Houston area.

The Houston Bar Association established the Equal Access to Justice Champions Program in 2006 to help connect HVL cases with pro bono volunteers. Participating firms pledge each year to accept one pro bono case for every five attorneys in their Houston office.

Each year, Troutman Pepper Locke attorneys dedicate thousands of pro bono hours in support of nonprofits, military veterans, children, the wrongfully convicted, civil rights and social justice initiatives, and so many other causes. Learn more at troutman.com/pro-bono/.
