HOUSTON – Bracewell LLP was honored by the Houston Volunteer Lawyers (HVL) as an Equal Access to Justice (EAJ) Champion for 2026, a recognition given to firms that meet or exceed their annual commitment to the organization. Each year, the firm, which has consistently achieved EAJ status since the program began in 2006, pledges to handle at least one pro bono case for every five Houston lawyers.
Over the past year, Bracewell handled approximately 40 cases through HVL spanning a wide range of matters – veterans’ rights, tenant rights, guardianships, corporate formation, intellectual property, family law, and various civil disputes – and was recognized among the firms that exceeded their pledge for the bar year. Across all participating firms, HVL’s clinics served more than 660 clients and generated nearly 2,500 hours of legal advice in the same period.
HVL, which has a longstanding relationship with the Houston Bar Association, is the largest pro bono legal service provider in Harris County. It partners with thousands of attorneys and the Houston Bar Association to deliver free civil legal aid, donating millions in services to low-income residents for over 40 years.
