Since its foundation our firm has had a pro bono culture. For more than 35 years, we have seen the benefit of pro bono work and how it brings positive impact to our communities, both at the social and the environmental levels.
Pro bono work has a transformative effect on our society, helping individuals or communities from vulnerable population groups and civil society organizations to thrive and gain access to free legal counsel.
For these reasons we are excited to share with you that for the 10th consecutive year, Von Wobeser y Sierra, S.C. has been recognized as a “Pro bono Leading Light 2021” by Latin Lawyer and The Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice.
This recognition is awarded to a select group of firms in Latin America that have pro bono legal advice incorporated into their culture and that continuously promote this cause among all their collaborators.
Edmond Grieger, the partner leading the efforts of the Pro bono Committee at VWyS, shares, "As a firm, we are proud to provide free legal support that contributes to the development of people and communities within the most vulnerable groups of our society in order to improve both their situation as well as in the environment. We are fully committed to collaborate for the common good".
We are honored by this distinction, and grateful to our lawyers involved in this work. We also extend our congratulations to all those firms in Latin America that were recognized for their commitment and pro bono work.
