Michelle Bolos Recognized by INTA for Pro Bono Service
Marshall Gerstein is proud to share that Partner and Pro Bono Committee Chair Michelle Bolos has been recognized by the International Trademark Association (INTA) for her commitment to pro bono service and expanding access to justice. In their most recent Pro Bono Spotlight article, INTA highlights Michelle’s approach to pro bono service and the work that has shaped her involvement.
As Chair of the Pro Bono Committee, Michelle develops opportunities and initiatives that encourage attorneys to participate in pro bono work, while building relationships with organizations that connect attorneys with individuals and nonprofits in need of legal services.
Under Michelle’s leadership, the firm consistently achieves 100% attorney participation in the Chicago Bar Foundation’s “Investing in Justice” fundraising campaign, which supports legal aid organizations serving Chicagoans who cannot afford legal representation. She also helps sustain the firm’s relationships with Cabrini Green Legal Aid, Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, Lawyers for the Creative Arts, and the Wills for Heroes Foundation.
Michelle’s own community involvement includes work with Child’s Voice, Adult Congenital Heart Association, Real Men Charities, Youth Chorus of the North Shore, and the Haitian Education and Leadership Program. Her work reflects a commitment to making pro bono service an active part of firm life while supporting organizations that serve the broader community.
We are pleased to see INTA recognize Michelle’s contributions and dedication to expanding access to legal services. Read the full profile here.
