AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP received the Access to Justice Award from the Texas Access to Justice Foundation (TAJF) Oct. 20 at its Luncheon with the Supreme Court of Texas.
The award recognizes the firm's longstanding partnership with TAJF, particularly its exceptional support of the Equal Justice Works Fellowship Program, where Greenberg Traurig has co-sponsored fellows for 15 years.
According to its website, TAJF is the leading funder of legal aid in Texas. The organization was created in 1984 with a commitment to the vision that all Texans should have equal access to justice, regardless of their income.
"The heart, dedication, and creativity of our Texas team, with the consistent support of the firm's global pro bono program, empowers us to make a lasting difference in our communities. Our longstanding relationship with the Texas Access to Justice Foundation has been pivotal in broadening access to justice across the state," Texas Regional Shareholders Joseph F. Coniglio, Shari L. Heyen, and Demetrius G. McDaniel said in a joint statement. "We are truly honored to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts to advance the foundation's mission and ensure equal justice for all."
"GT's Texas offices have always been leaders in GT's pro bono program, responding to the unique needs of Texas communities," said Caroline J. Heller, chair of Greenberg Traurig's Global Pro Bono Program and Litigation shareholder in New York. "We are proud of our work with TAJF and grateful for this distinction."
Over the years, Greenberg Traurig's collaboration with TAJF has helped provide vital education advocacy for children with disabilities, helping to prevent and correct misplacement in segregated special education programs, disciplinary alternative education programs, and juvenile justice facilities. The team also assisted in the expanding of an Austin-based Medical-Legal Partnership to a school-linked health center, integrating legal interventions to address the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on at-risk youth. Additionally, the work has focused on pursuing housing stability and income maintenance for persons with serious mental illness in Dallas County through direct representation, community partnerships, and educational initiatives.

Through the Holly Skolnick Fellowship Foundation, the firm has invested over $17 million since 1999 to support more than 200 Equal Justice Works Fellows.
