The Pro Bono Institute has named general counsel Brad Smith and Microsoft Corporation’s department of legal and corporate affairs as the joint recipients of its 2014 Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award, in recognition of “their unwavering efforts to aid the under-represented.”
“At Microsoft, we believe it is our duty to extend our pro bono services to those who need it most in our communities locally and abroad,” Smith said in a statement. “We thank [the institute] for recognizing our dedication to serving some of the world’s most vulnerable groups.”
