Brooklyn Legal Services — ‘Brooklyn A’ — celebrates 44 years
Lawyers, political officials and community advocates came out to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation A, at the New York Marriott Brooklyn Bridge last week. The room was replete with prominent leaders from New York City’s legal and corporate worlds and some of Brooklyn’s most recognized community members and elected officials.
The celebration consisted of an awards ceremony during which three individuals were honored for their contributions towards providing legal services for those in need and for building partnerships between organizations that serve Brooklyn communities.
William Cavanaugh, Jr., co-chair at Patterson, Belknap, was presented with the inaugural Judge Harold R. Tyler award for his and his firm’s commitment to pro bono work in addition to his public service work in the Department of Justice.
