Ted N. Gianaris serves as the firm's Special Counsel for Access to Justice. He coordinates the firm's pro bono efforts in a meaningful way to ensure those who need help most receive it. Through his solo practice, he also litigates cases for marginalized individuals, populations and communities.
"It's my firm belief that legal justice should be available to everyone," Ted said. "This is why I became a trial lawyer who helps individuals and families injured by catastrophic personal injuries, and also why I help communities wrecked by environmental disasters."
Prior to this role, Ted was a shareholder at the firm for 20 years and member of the leadership team. He also served as a leading voice in the formation of the firm's Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which he co-chaired until taking on his current role.
