Thompson Coburn is committed to making a difference in the community and encouraging our women attorneys to participate in philanthropic and pro bono activities. We recently became a founding donor ($10,000) of the Legal Advocates for Abused Women (LAAW) Foundation and committed to provide pro bono legal services to victims of domestic violence. All of our St. Louis women partners participate in the United Way Women’s Leadership Giving Initiative by donating $1,000 or more to United Way. Thompson Coburn also is an annual sponsor of the St. Louis Business Journal’s Conference for Women.
The firm sponsored radio station KMOX’s “Women of Achievement” campaign, which honored 10 St. Louis women for their outstanding contributions to the community, as well as their “Spotlight on Women and Minority Leaders” campaign, which saluted St. Louis-area women and minority leaders.
The firm also donated $120,000 to fund the Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM) Chair, which enabled LSEM’s Children’s Alliance to hire a new attorney who represents special needs children in the area of education.
