Lotus Legal Search is proud to give back to the community. We donate at least 5% of our net revenue to charity. We often partner with autism-related charities, as our founding partner Kate’s beautiful 10-year old son Kevin was diagnosed with autism. If a law firm client has a particular charitable request, we can often work with them to support their chosen charity (e.g., American Heart Association or other firm campaign).
