Troutman Pepper Recognized for Pro Bono Service to the Inner City Law Center

LOS ANGELES - Troutman Pepper has been recognized among the Inner City Law Center (ICLC) list of pro bono heroes, a group comprising law firms, in-house partners, volunteers, and interns that provided pro bono services to help acquire resources and affordable housing for those in the Los Angeles community.

As many nonprofits struggled to continue serving those hit hardest by the pandemic, Troutman Pepper provided pro bono services to help eligible organizations apply for the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). A Troutman Pepper team, led by Mary Dickson, with Samantha Burdick and Cindy J. Lee, assisted ICLC in analyzing and synthesizing the legislative and procedural details of the PPP so nonprofits could address the immediate needs of those they serve.

ICLC fights for housing and justice for low-income tenants, working-poor families, immigrants, people who are disabled or living with HIV/AIDS, and homeless veterans. In 2020 alone, over 575 volunteers provided more than 15,000 hours of support, which is valued at more than $7 million. As the only legal services provider located in Skid Row, ICLC advocates for equitable housing policies and provides legal services to prevent and end homelessness.

Each year, Troutman Pepper attorneys dedicate thousands of pro bono hours in support of nonprofits, military veterans, children, the wrongfully accused, and so many more. Learn more at troutman.com/pro-bono.
