Alumni

Law Firm Challenge

Thank you and congratulations to the Georgetown Law alumni who volunteered for the 12th annual Law Firm Challenge this year. The Challenge helps alumni stay abreast of Law Center news, while having a positive impact on the programs, resources and student experience at the school today. And the law firms that join the challenge also forge strong connections with Georgetown Law and its students.

This year’s Law Firm Challenge involved 2,142 alumni and 48 prominent law firms and companies. Forty-nine percent of the alumni at these firms contributed a record total of more than $1,025,000 to the Law Center.

We are pleased to report that six firms reached 100-percent participation: Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, DLA Piper, Keller and Heckman LLP, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Venable LLP, and Williams & Connolly LLP. The firms that raised the highest amount (in groups based on the number of alumni they include) are: Group 1: Baker & McKenzie LLP, Group 2: Covington & Burling LLP, and Group 3: Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. We applaud and thank all the participating firms and alumni donors, and we are particularly grateful to the alumni volunteers. If you would like to have your firm or company join the Law Firm Challenge, please contact the Office of Development at 202-662-9500.
