A coalition of associates at Big Law firms is awarding $90,000 in grants this year to two public interest organizations, FreeFrom and Asian Americans Advancing Justice.

Since it was launched in 2016 by former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom associate Corey Laplante, the Associates’ Committee has awarded a total of $440,000 to legal aid organizations across the country. Laplante, who now practices at Washington-based litigation boutique Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz, said the country’s current crop of associates are “hungry” for opportunities to engage in pro bono and philanthropic giving.
