For the second year in a row, Latham & Watkins was honored with the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Advancement in Animal Law Pro Bono Achievement Award. Led by partners Scott Shean, Eric Cho, and Jennifer Roy, the firm has dedicated hundreds of pro bono hours on projects for the Animal Legal Defense Fund, which uses the legal system to advocate for, and protect, animals. These projects have included reviewing its governing documents and policies, and providing guidance on litigation strategies and trial best practices.
“Advocating for animals is especially gratifying,” said Latham partner Jennifer Roy. “We appreciate this award, and applaud the Animal Legal Defense Fund for its efforts to give a legal voice to animals in need.”
