Linklaters spent around £8m on pro bono activities during the last financial year, equating to around 63,750 hours invested by its lawyers in community and voluntary work.
The figures, contained within the firm's annual corporate responsibly report, mark Linklaters out as one of the few UK law firms to place a value on its non-profit efforts.
The number of hours spent firmwide on pro bono work by the firm's staff and lawyers has seen an 86% increase over the last two years, with the 2009-10 total rising from 45,710 in 2008-09 to almost double the 34,350 hours recorded in 2007-08.
