Community Involvement

Community service is an integral part of Berger Singerman’s culture.  We are committed to make a positive impact in our community through leadership roles in various organizations, devoting time to strengthen ties with the community and Pro Bono work.

Leadership

Team members are actively involved in a variety of organizations and, in many cases, in a leadership position to bring resolution or advance various causes.

Community Service

Our team members are actively giving their time and effort to provide assistance to those in need and to improve the communities in which we live and work.  These efforts are largely self-directed.  Some of the firm sponsored events include:

  • 25th Anniversary – Giving Back, Moving Forward
    • To celebrate Berger Singerman’s 25th anniversary in 2010, we gave back to the community in 2 ways.  Each team member gave back approximately 25 hours of community service totally close to 4000 firm wide.  In addition, firm’s financial contribution during our anniversary year was approximately $200,000.  In honor of our giving back to the community in which we serve, we celebrated 10 charities at our anniversary event giving a total of $150,000 in total to these charities. For Berger Singerman's 20th Anniversary, Celebrate by Giving the firm gave back to the community in which we serve by donating a total of $150,000 to 20 charities. Guests at  both of our anniversary events were able to direct some of the firm's charitable giving to the selected charities.
