Congratulations to our client, the Boston office of Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, on raising more than $9,000 through its
charitable initiative "Weil Pays it Forward" for the National
Education for Assistance Dog Services (NEADS). NEADS is a
non-profit organization that provides canine assistance for deaf
and disabled Americans. Weil's donation will support the
organization's Canine for Combat Veterans program, which places
trained dogs with veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who suffer
from post-traumatic stress disorders. The dogs require extensive
training and are equipped to help with transitioning to
prosthetics, providing social interaction, assisting veterans who
may be in wheelchairs, and more. As part of the initiative, Weil
held a Dog at Your Desk Day last week, during which staff members
got to spend the workday accompanied by some very special pups from
the program. As a dog friendly office here at SM&, we love the
idea of our clients mingling with canines!
