community service
& pro bono

PAZ HOROWITZ has a long-standing commitment to community service. We believe that our lawyers have the moral duty to give back to the communities where we live and work. Both as individuals and as a law firm, we work for the improvement of the local bar and the country’s system of justice. Our personnel volunteer free time to a variety of charitable organizations and many of our attorneys serve as officers, directors and trustees of such institutions.

PAZ HOROWITZ attorneys and staff members have provided community service to the following organizations and efforts:

Junior Achievement
Fundación Jatun Sacha
Fundación Maquipucuna
Fundación Parque Metropolitano
Prison Brotherhood
Shuar Indian Federation
Amazon Region artesian cooperative
Montecristi panama hat weavers
Suecia Park improvement committee
Collection of clothing and food for victims of Tungurahua Volcano eruptions
Indigenous federation in the Ecuadorian Amazon Region
Christmas meals and gifts for the school children in several impoverished communities around Quito

PAZ HOROWITZ strongly encourages all of its attorneys to engage in pro bono legal work. Such work has included representation of charitable and non-profit organizations, collaboration with legal aid societies, and the provision of direct legal services to the indigent.

Our attorneys have found their pro bono work to be some of the most rewarding experiences of their professional lives. Not only does pro bono enrich their lives while providing an important community service, it helps us further develop our practical legal skills.

The service we provide to pro bono clients includes the same high degree of care and quality given to our paying clients.
