On July 2, 2025, in a landmark decision for reproductive rights, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that a law on the books from 175 years ago “does not ban abortion in the State of Wisconsin,” ending a three-year legal battle over the status of reproductive rights in the state. A Proskauer team filed an amicus brief in partnership with co-counsel Public Rights Project (“PRP”) on behalf of local elected officials to support the Plaintiff-Respondent in Kaul v. Urmanski and urge the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reach this conclusion.

On July 8th, Proskauer partnered with the Red Cross and Century Park Towers building management to sponsor a blood drive at Century Park Towers in Los Angeles. This collaborative effort exceeded expectations, resulting in the collection of 42 units of blood, including contributions from 16 first-time donors. As a long-standing…

Over the past few months, attorneys, staff, summer associates and interns across Proskauer’s U.S. offices have been volunteering with organizations to address food insecurity in their communities, a central focus of the Firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. Partnering with organizations like New York Common Pantry (New York City), D.C. Central Kitchen (Washington, D.C.), The People Concern (Los Angeles), Rosie’s Place (Boston), and Chicago Common Pantry (Chicago), Proskauer’s volunteers contributed over 300 hours of service, helping to distribute over 64,000 meals. In addition to supporting these impactful organizations, volunteers had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the growing issue of food insecurity in the communities where they live and work.

Proskauer is proud to share a significant victory in our long-standing advocacy for the rights of blind and visually impaired pedestrians in Chicago. On May 29, 2025, the Honorable Judge LaShonda A. Hunt of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a comprehensive Remedial Plan Order requiring the City of Chicago to install Accessible Pedestrian Signals (“APS”) at 71% of its signalized intersections with pedestrian signals within 10 years and at all remaining signalized intersections with pedestrian signals by December 31, 2040. This Remedial Plan Order follows years of litigation and advocacy by Proskauer in partnership with Disability Rights Advocates (“DRA”), a nationwide nonprofit disability rights legal center, and marks a monumental step forward in ensuring that Chicago’s pedestrian infrastructure is accessible to all.
