Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Honors Wildman Harrold for Pro Bono Work
The Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights has awarded Wildman, Harrold, Allen & Dixon LLP its annual pro bono service award in recognition of the firm’s service to the organization over the past year. The award was presented at an Oct. 22 event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Lawyers’ Committee.
The Lawyers’ Committee singled out Wildman Harrold as this year’s recipient of its annual award for the firm’s involvement in, among other initiatives, the organization’s Employment Opportunity Project and Settlement Assistance Program. The firm has taken on a number of cases from both programs, and also trained other lawyers involved.
Chicago Lawyers’ Committee, a cooperative, pro bono effort of Chicago's leading law firms, is Chicago's partnership for equal justice. Annually, over 20,000 hours of donated professional legal services, with a value of $3.5 million, are directed to civil rights issues through the Committee.
