A company’s strength is often measured by its global reach, but true impact can be felt much closer to home in the communities where its employees live and work. For BASF Corporation’s Legal Department, which is led out of Florham Park, New Jersey, corporate social responsibility is not an abstract concept; it is an ingrained resolve to strengthening communities by giving back.
By partnering with Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) over the past 25 years, VLJ’s law firm and in-house partners have achieved so much on behalf of our pro bono clients, helping to level the playing field and create equal access to justice. With only 2.8 legal aid lawyers for every 10,000 individuals experiencing poverty, pro bono help is desperately needed and VLJ is so grateful for the private bar’s assistance in meeting this need.
With 2026 in full swing, all of us at Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) are reflecting on the incredible past year of pro bono made possible by our community of volunteer attorneys. While the new year means another year of ensuring access to justice, it also marks a milestone in VLJ’s history: our 25th anniversary, and as with any VLJ celebration, you’re invited!
