Morrison Foerster recognized by the ACLU Foundation of Southern California with their annual Pro Bono Award

Morrison Foerster was presented with the ACLU Foundation of Southern California (ACLU SoCal)’s annual Pro Bono Award, honoring the firm for being a “true ally.” The organization cited the firm for multiple projects, such as providing legal research and analysis to its education equity team, support to the LGBTQ equity team and community partners, unstinting tax advice, and willingness to undertake “the small and unglamorous projects that can make all the difference.”

The ACLU SoCal also individually honored San Diego tax partner Shane Shelley and Los Angeles tax associate Lauren Keller for their extraordinary pro bono contributions. The pair were named for their “unstinting support in a myriad of ways to the work of the ACLU SoCal, and for providing tax consultation to our clients in settlement negotiations.”

Headquartered in Los Angeles, the ACLU SoCal works with communities across the counties of Los Angeles, Kern, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. The awards were presented June 1st at the ACLU SoCal’s Advocates for Justice reception in Los Angeles, which honors individuals and pro bono counsel who have directly contributed to the organization's legal and advocacy efforts across the southland.
