Pro Bono Client Achieves Asylum Victory
- Client News
- December 12, 2016
Paul, Weiss obtained asylum for our pro bono client, a
17-year-old Salvadorean girl. The girl fled her home and sought
asylum in the U.S. after she had been subjected to threats,
violence and sexual assault by members of the Salvadorean criminal
gang MS-13 who had targeted her because of her family. Paul,
Weiss partnered with Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), a pro bono
organization that provides legal counsel to unaccompanied refugee
and immigrant children in the United States.
The Paul, Weiss team included corporate associates Conrad
van Loggerenberg, Gregory Tung and Shai Ornan.
Corporate partner Udi Grofman supervised this matter.
