FBT Gibbons LLP and Stryker, a leading medical technology company, partnered to host a special education pro bono legal clinic on October 28 in recognition of National Pro Bono Week. The clinic connected 10 families with attorneys offering guidance on special education issues.
The clinic was supported by 21 attorney volunteers from FBT Gibbons and Stryker. Families were referred through the Education Law Center of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization that provides legal assistance to families navigating public education issues, including special education matters.
The clinic was a resounding success. It brought together teams of FBT Gibbons and Stryker in-house attorneys to support families seeking help with questions about their children’s educational needs and reflects the role that collaboration among legal professionals and community organizations can play in expanding access to critical legal guidance.
FBT Gibbons is committed to serving its communities through pro bono work and partnerships with organizations addressing legal needs. The firm encourages its attorneys to contribute their time and skills to matters that support individuals, families and organizations.
