Acknowledging pain and challenges the nation is facing amid the COVID-19 pandemic and concurrent racial tensions, Connecticut firm Wiggin and Dana has launched an initiative that includes offering $10 million worth of legal services to minority-owned businesses during the next 10 years.
“Our goal is to fuel the success of these businesses, encourage the creation of more, and increase diversity among business leaders,” the firm announced in press release this week. “Wiggin and Dana will donate our legal expertise across multiple practice areas to help these businesses thrive and be able to provide greater economic opportunities for all stakeholders. We hope that by committing to support minority-owned businesses, we can lead the community in efforts to achieve systemic and lasting change.”
