The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) recently honored Fenwick with the 2024 Advancement in Animal Law Pro Bono Achievement Award.
The award recognizes Fenwick’s dedication and commitment to furthering ALDF’s mission of protecting the lives and advancing the interests of animals through the legal system. Since 2006, Fenwick has partnered with ALDF in their fight against animal cruelty, providing pro bono assistance to support various initiatives, including high-impact lawsuits to protect animals from harm, defending tough animal protection legislation, and providing resources to expand the emerging field of animal law.
Founded in 1979, ALDF has blazed the trail for stronger enforcement of anti-cruelty laws and more humane treatment of animals in every corner of American life.
