Sheldon Krantz has seen pro bono work from every angle – as a lawyer, a law professor, and as an entrepreneur. As a partner at DLA Piper for nearly 20 years, Sheldon was named the D.C. Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year, and he created New Perimeter, DLA Piper’s nonprofit pro bono affiliate. He literally wrote the book on how to reinvent law: The Legal Profession: What is Wrong and How to Fix It. And starting this fall, he will serve as the Executive Director to the newly created D.C. Affordable Law Firm, a joint endeavor between the Georgetown University Law Center, Arent Fox, and DLA Piper, to address the needs of the underserved in the DC area.
