Hanson Bridgett Receives Top Corporate Philanthropist Recognition

July 26, 2024 (San Francisco, CA) – Hanson Bridgett LLP is pleased to announce that the firm has been ranked by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the Bay Area's Top 100 Corporate Philanthropists for the 13th year in a row. The list celebrates the most generous corporate citizens and recognizes companies that also contribute time, talent, and resources. It includes for-profit companies and nonprofit health care organizations that made contributions to Bay Area charitable organizations.

"Our social impact and philanthropic work extends far beyond the generous financial contributions the firm has made in support of nonprofits within the communities we serve," said Samir Abdelnour, Director of Pro Bono and Social Impact at Hanson Bridgett. "Charitable giving is certainly a big part of it, but our people are also out in the community lending a hand, volunteering and getting involved on boards, advising nonprofit partners, and so much more – we're honored to be included in this list and will continue to give back."

The firm has committed to giving back and actively supporting the communities its attorneys and professional staff live and work in. This is continually demonstrated through its local partnerships, pro bono matters, and incentivized programs such as the firm's Charitable Match Program and "impact hours" – time dedicated to volunteering, serving on boards or other volunteer positions, and knowledge sharing.

As a certified B Corp, Hanson Bridgett prioritizes and maximizes its community-based and meaningful social impact work. In 2023, the firm:

• Made charitable gifts to more than 100 non-profit organizations
• Completed more than 10,800 pro bono and impact hours
• Matched over $22,000 in individual charitable donations (not including firm-sponsored gifts)
