Hoge Fenton has four core firm values, one of which is commitment to the communities in which we practice. Two components comprise that commitment: (1) financial contributions (including pro bono legal service), and (2) people support in the form of board service and active participation by our employees in the many organizations we support.
Our firm’s commitment to community service starts at the top. The majority of the firm’s shareholders serve on at least one community board, and many of our associates do as well. Over the past decade, Hoge Fenton has contributed more than $1 million to charitable organizations in the Silicon Valley, Peninsula, and Tri-Valley areas and has supported more than 90 community organizations.
Leadership in the Community.
Our commitment to the community includes taking an active role in its future. Hoge Fenton attorneys serve on nonprofit boards, contribute to civic and business organizations, and support initiatives across Silicon Valley, the Peninsula, and the Tri-Valley. Through these leadership roles, we share our experience, build lasting relationships, and help strengthen the communities where we live and work.
