Recognition of Commitment to Justice given to Lauren Connell and online platform Gump by Her Justice.
Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, a leading international law firm founded in 1945, has been recognised for its long-standing commitment to pro bono work with Her Justice, a nonprofit organisation providing free legal services to low-income women in matrimonial, family, and immigration law.
The firm's dedication to this cause was evident when it won Her Justice's inaugural Firm Commitment Award in 2016, acknowledging the most hours of pro bono services per lawyer. This recognition marked the start of a fruitful partnership that has spanned over two decades.
Gump's involvement with Her Justice extends beyond just numbers. Kim Koopersmith, a chairperson at the firm, served as a past vice chair of Her Justice's board of directors, demonstrating a personal commitment to the organisation's mission.
In 2020, Geoffrey Secol, a tax partner at Gump, was honoured with Her Justice's Partner Award, further cementing the firm's reputation for social responsibility.
The firm's New York Women Firmwide Resource Group and its New York Associates Committee have also been recognised for their exceptional fundraising efforts, contributing significantly to Her Justice's mission.
More recently, Lauren Connell, a lawyer at Gump, received a 2021 Commitment to Justice Award from Her Justice for her pro bono work.
Gump's pro bono contributions have been ongoing and significant, playing a crucial role in advancing Her Justice's initiatives, such as the Shift the Power Campaign. This campaign aims to advance economic justice for women living in poverty in New York City.
In 2021, Joy Anderson was awarded for outstanding fundraising achievements related to the Shift the Power campaign by Her Justice.
With offices throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and over 900 lawyers, Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP continues to make a positive impact, both locally and globally.
