Heller Ehrman has agreed to match donations to the Red Cross by its lawyers and staffers who want to assist victims of the earthquake in China, reports The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times.

An e-mail by chief operating officer Brad Scott said the law firm will match employee donations up to $50,000, and its charitable foundation will also make a direct donation.
