Dykema Launches Centennial Campaign to Support Legal Aid Organizations

Dykema, a leading national law firm celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026, is proud to announce that its Pro Bono Practice has launched a Centennial Campaign for Legal Aid, a firmwide initiative supporting legal aid organizations that have played a longstanding role in advancing access to justice and partnering with Dykema attorneys on pro bono matters.

The campaign, one of several initiatives marking Dykema’s centennial year, reflects the firm’s longstanding commitment to serving the communities in which its attorneys and professionals live and work. Pro bono service has been an important part of Dykema’s commitment to the legal profession and its communities for generations, and the Centennial Campaign provides an opportunity to recognize organizations that have been invaluable partners in that work.

Through the initiative, Dykema attorneys will provide financial support to a select group of legal aid organizations that have worked closely with the firm for many years, providing training, case referrals, mentoring, and other resources that support Dykema’s Pro Bono Practice.

The organizations supported through the Centennial Campaign for Legal Aid include:

• San Antonio Legal Services Association (SALSA)
• Dallas Volunteer Legal Services Program (DVAP)
• Texas Appleseed
• Children’s Law Center of DC
• Alliance for Children’s Rights
• Legal Action of Wisconsin
• Legal Aid Chicago
• Chicago Volunteer Legal Services
• The Advocates for Human Rights
• Access to Justice Campaign of the Michigan State Bar Foundation

These organizations serve communities across the firm’s markets and have helped connect Dykema attorneys with opportunities to assist individuals and families with legal needs. Their training, referrals, mentoring, and other support also help make meaningful pro bono representation possible and strengthen the firm’s ability to serve those in need.

The Centennial Campaign for Legal Aid builds upon Dykema’s broader commitment to pro bono service and community engagement. Throughout its history, the firm and its attorneys have contributed countless hours of legal service to individuals and organizations in need and have supported legal aid providers working to make the justice system more accessible.

As Dykema looks toward its next century, the firm remains committed to supporting the organizations and partnerships that help expand access to justice and make pro bono service possible.

Dykema officially marked its 100th anniversary on June 1, 2026. For more information about Dykema’s centennial, visit Dykema100.com.
