As the 2010 World Cup kicked off Friday in South Africa, local law firms and large firms with offices in the country were taking part by hosting events, catering to clients and even providing the occasional legal service. Dewey & LeBoeuf helped set up a youth soccer tournament, South African firm Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs is advising the World Cup’s organizing body, and local firm Bowman Gilfillan gave staff members six days off to attend games, while installing flat-screen TVs in its offices for those who have to work.
