Loeb & Loeb is pleased to share that Litigation associate Chloe Gordils, Advanced Media & Technology associate Chanda Marlowe, Litigation paralegal Antoinette Pepper, Employment & Labor partner Lauren Richards and Corporate associate Nick Warshaw have been awarded the firm’s 2026 “Top Pro Bono Contributor Award” for their outstanding dedication and meaningful contributions to pro bono work over the past year.
Showcasing the continued scope and influence of the firm’s pro bono efforts, this year’s honorees contributed to a wide array of impactful initiatives. Their involvement spanned nonprofit, employment, immigration and criminal justice matters, including; contributing to a longstanding criminal justice matter involving foundational sentencing considerations; guidance on labor and employment issues; assistance to youth‑focused and rehabilitation‑based organizations; research and compliance work related to disaster relief efforts; and critical immigration representation for families seeking lawful status.
In recognition of their lasting commitment to pro bono service, each recipient selected a legal service organization or nonprofit they worked with over the past year, and the firm made a $1,000 contribution in support of their efforts.
A Pro Bono Recognition Reception will be held on March 4, 2026, to celebrate the honorees and acknowledge all Loeb lawyers and professional staff who contributed at least 20 hours of pro bono work in 2025. The reception will also include a special tribute to Private Client partner Jerome Levine as he steps down from his longtime leadership role in guiding the firm’s pro bono efforts.
Below are summaries spotlighting the impactful work of each “Top Pro Bono Contributor Award” recipient over the past year.
