Inland Counties Legal Services’ Post

Inland Counties Legal Services is proud to announce René Kathawala as the 2025 Volunteer of the Year -- for his leadership in the pro bono community across the country and his incredible impact on ICLS’s pro bono program. As Pro Bono Counsel for Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, René has worked alongside ICLS’s Pro Bono team to build pro bono opportunities for Orrick’s attorneys and corporate clients to help those in need. Thanks to his efforts, Orrick has become one of ICLS’s standout pro bono partners in protecting vulnerable communities, strengthening community organizations, and ensuring justice isn’t dependent on a person’s ability to pay. “René exemplifies the best the legal industry has to offer,” Pro Bono Director Matt Kugizaki said. “His impact on our program and programs like ours across the country are a resounding reminder of the difference one person can make for those in need.” Read more about René's impact: https://lnkd.in/gaccdEhT Join us in celebrating René at Advocates for Justice: https://lnkd.in/gza-77ZM
