McDermott Will & Emery has been honored with Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc.’s (Legal Services) Equal Justice Pro Bono Large Firm Award.

The firm was selected for its continued contributions to Legal Services and its clients through initiatives like the Transactional Equal Justice Clinic, taking on full-representation matters, and its active pro bono volunteerism through legal clinics. For example, in September, McDermott and Assurant hosted a Transactional Equal Justice Program (TEJP) clinic with Legal Services, where more than 30 lawyers participated in a variety of transactional focused cases for 10+ deserving clients. Through TEJP and other programs, McDermott has provided meaningful and much-needed legal assistance to individuals, nonprofits and low-to-moderate income small business owners, helping them to launch, manage or operate a business, according to Legal Services.

“McDermott’s ongoing support of Legal Services has made a tremendous impact in our community, touching the lives of families and their neighborhoods,” said Legal Services CEO Monica Vigues-Pitan. “I would like to thank McDermott for being part of the Legal Services’ family and for its leadership and commitment to building a community of equal justice.”
