Social Impact

Pro Bono

Mission Statement

"Reaching out to people in need."

The public interest is both the culture and the goal of DLG.

Since our inception, DLG Law Corporation has held public interest as its foremost value. As a law firm and as individual lawyers, not only are we devoted to pro bono work to help fight injustice, but we are also committed to contributing to society during our pursuit of for-profit endeavors. Our vision, therefore, is for all of members to hold public interest (helping vulnerable members in our society and eradicating unjust social systems) as their core value, while helping society and clients with their expertise and innovative legal services.
Accordingly, DLG hosts public interest forums and actively realizes its vision
through various initiatives such as D-Tech, D’Change, and Time Bank projects.
