On October 13, 2020, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCRSF) published a feature profile on Wilson Sonsini, a longtime pro bono partner of the organization.

The spotlight focuses on the firm's recent efforts as a rapid-response pro bono partner providing critically needed support to LCCRSF across all program areas amidst a global pandemic and national call to action for racial justice. This year alone, Wilson Sonsini has completed more than 2,000 hours of pro bono work with LCCRSF and expanded its annual financial contribution with a firm-wide matching campaign for racial justice and commitment from the Wilson Sonsini Foundation for a total of more than $110,000 in funding.

The firm has engaged in legal services alongside LCCRSF staff and Salesforce to host the first virtual Bail Clinic, which supports clients who had no choice but to use for-profit bail bonds company services to get themselves or a loved one out of jail, oftentimes becoming saddled with thousands of dollars in bail debt, which bail companies then aggressively pursue. 

Wilson Sonsini's pro bono attorneys have also contributed to the group's Legal Services for Entrepreneurs program to provide legal counsel to small businesses with specific legal issues or to provide consultation to clients who would like to incorporate their business or nonprofit but do not have access to the resources to do so. The firm’s contributions in numerous successful asylum cases are also highlighted.

The firm's Luke Liss, who helps lead Wilson Sonsini's pro bono program; Steven Guggenheim, co-head of the firm's Pro Bono Committee; and Jamie Otto, a Wilson Sonsini intellectual property litigation associate and coordinator of the firm's asylum program, are quoted in the spotlight.
