Lawyers for Civil Rights recognized the pro bono efforts of a Goodwin Private Equity Debt Finance team at their annual meeting on June 25th. Goodwin was honored for providing pro bono legal services to over 40 small businesses applying for loans through the CARES Act’s Paycheck Protection Program, a vital initiative providing small businesses with funds to cover payroll costs.

Lawyers and staff who donated their time include Mohammed Alvi, Jennifer Bralower, Dylan Brown, Anna Dodson, Kevin Grumberg, Liz Jordan, Emily Josef, Bryan Judd, Timothy Kim, Jennifer Necas, Kris Ring, Chris Steinroeder, Melissa Wright and Matt Jose.
