Rob Whitman Receives Award from Lawyers Alliance for NY for Pro Bono Leadership

NY Labor & Employment partner Rob Whitman received the 2008 Award for Pro Bono Leadership from Lawyers Alliance for New York ("Lawyers Alliance"), in recognition of his 11 years of outstanding service as a volunteer attorney. Lawyers Alliance provides business and transactional legal services for New York City nonprofit organizations and is a leading pro bono referral agency for the NY office.

"This award highlights Lawyers Alliance's philosophy that pro bono work is not just for junior associates," says Rob.
