Shutts & Bowen Amplifies Community Impact During Pro Bono Month

Empowering Communities Through Service

In the spirit of Pro Bono Month, Shutts & Bowen LLP has once again exemplified what it means to serve and uplift communities. With a series of well-coordinated events across Florida, the firm has leveraged its resources, expertise, and the collective spirit of its team to make a significant impact. At the heart of these initiatives are the firm’s Pro Bono Committee co-chairs, Ella Shenhav and Michael Gore, who have been instrumental in orchestrating efforts that align with Shutts’ enduring ethos of giving back.

"Pro Bono Month reminds us that every act of service, whether through our legal skills or through community outreach, has the power to transform lives," remarked Ella Shenhav. This statement not only underscores the firm’s commitment to pro bono work but also celebrates the collective effort of its offices to support Floridians in need.

Highlighting Acts of Generosity and Advocacy

From the West Palm Beach office’s food drive that collected 815 pounds of food for the Palm Beach County Food Bank to the Tampa team’s ‘Dunk for a Cause’ event raising funds for breast cancer research, the variety of initiatives showcases Shutts & Bowen’s multifaceted approach to community service. In Fort Lauderdale, staff joined forces with Ranger Good Works, assembling essential bags for underprivileged families, while the Tallahassee office supported free speech and religious liberty through its partnership with the First Amendment Clinic at Florida State University.

The Miami office took a different yet equally impactful approach by hosting an educational Pro Bono Month celebration. This event not only shed light on the importance of pro bono service but also provided a platform for networking and learning, featuring esteemed speakers such as Chief Judge Laurel M. Isicoff of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

A Year-Round Commitment to Service

As Pro Bono Month concludes, the gratitude expressed by Ella Shenhav towards every participating member of Shutts & Bowen LLP resonates with our ethos at Charity Ace. It’s a reminder that the initiatives undertaken in October are not isolated acts of charity but reflect a year-round commitment to using talents and resources for the betterment of communities.

At Charity Ace, we often emphasize the importance of consistent and meaningful engagement with community service. Shutts & Bowen’s approach exemplifies how organizations can play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of generosity and advocacy. Through their statewide service initiatives, they have not only provided immediate aid to those in need but have also set a commendable example of corporate responsibility.

Established in 1910, Shutts & Bowen LLP is a testament to the enduring power of community-focused law practice. With approximately 280 lawyers across Florida, the firm’s efforts during Pro Bono Month are a beacon of hope and a call to action for other organizations to follow suit. As we witness such initiatives, we are reminded of the impactful change that can be achieved when we come together to serve our communities.
