Proskauer has been shortlisted for Best Contribution to the LawWorks Not-for-Profits Programme at the LawWorks Pro Bono Awards 2026. The awards celebrate individuals and organisations who put their legal skills at the service of others, recognising the dedication, leadership, and teamwork that help more people access legal advice and justice…

The American Bar Association’s National Celebration of Pro Bono (October 25-31) is intended to highlight the growing need for pro bono legal services, recognize volunteer lawyers, and expand access to justice.  To mark the occasion, Proskauer has spotlighted one person from the Firm each day to recognize their outstanding pro bono achievements and inspire everyone to participate.  We are proud to recognize the extraordinary achievements of our Pro Bono Week honorees:

To kick off its nonpartisan election protection work, Proskauer hosted a presentation on the current U.S. voting rights landscape featuring several Proskauer lawyers and Clay Pierce, a former Equal Justice Works Fellow with the American Civil Liberties Union Voting Rights Project (ACLU VRP) whose fellowship was co-sponsored by Proskauer. Pierce’s project focused on advancing the right to vote for people with disabilities.

Proskauer is proud to announce its role in closing a $4,500,000 property acquisition by Children’s Advocacy Center of Suffolk County, Inc. (CAC). This new property will allow CAC to better serve the children and families of Suffolk County, Massachusetts and build a safer and better future for all families impacted by child abuse.

Each year, thousands of veterans return to civilian life carrying the lasting effects of their military service. While many transition successfully, others face significant physical, psychological, and financial challenges that can persist long after they leave active duty. For many, these hardships are compounded by complex legal and administrative barriers that make it difficult to access the benefits, health care, and other resources they have earned through their service. This summer, Proskauer kicked off a new pro bono initiative across all U.S. offices focused on serving veterans. From navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits system to seeking discharge upgrades or appealing adverse benefits determinations, legal representation can play a critical role in helping veterans secure the support they deserve.

Last month, Proskauer hosted its annual event highlighting the Firm’s participation in the Associates’ Campaign for The Legal Aid Society, an initiative that brings associates together to raise critical funds in support of the nonprofit. This year’s conversation focused on rethinking the juvenile justice system in New York State. Panelists included Werdeh Hassan, Staff Attorney in The Legal Aid Society’s Juvenile Rights Practice; Anthony Katchen, Attorney-in-Charge of The Legal Aid Society’s Juvenile Rights Practice at the Staten Island Trial Office; and Shomari Ward, Litigation Director at Youth Represent.
