The Advocates for Human Rights Law Firm Pro Bono Award

The Advocates for Human Rights was founded in Minneapolis 40 years ago by a group of dedicated lawyers, including those at Fredrikson. It has grown to be a global leader in human, women and gender rights. Fredrikson has a deep abiding relationship with this remarkable organization. Fredrikson was honored to receive a 2023 Law Firm Pro Bono Award for its long-term commitment to pro bono and for involving the entire firm in its pro bono efforts, including many paralegals.

Robin Phillips, The Advocates Executive Director, said,

We are honored to recognize Fredrikson & Byron as a Law Firm Pro Bono Award winner at the 2023 Human Rights Dinner. You have been a steadfast partner through the years and we are grateful for your leadership. We will highlight your commitment to involving your entire team in your pro bono efforts and your creative approach to expanding civil legal services to disadvantaged communities. We are specifically recognizing your paralegals who have worked on immigration matters. They have worked tirelessly to uphold the dignity, justice, and peace of individuals affected by labor trafficking and persecution in their home countries. We greatly appreciate your team’s commitment and ability to navigate complex legal cases and defend the rights of survivors of human rights violations. Thank you for your incredible contributions to the human rights movement.
