Lawyers for Conservation F
or 40 years The Trust for Public Land has depended on the expertise of its in-house legal staff to steer each project through to completion. But from time to time we call on the specialized
expertise of outside counsel. Among these resources are pro bono lawyers from Reed Smith, a law firm that has built an international reputation representing some of the world’s leading companies in complex litigation, transactions, and regulatory matters.
Since 2007, Reed Smith law-
yers have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal services assisting with TPL proj- ects in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, New York, and Washington, D.C. The firm places a high priority
on corporate social responsibility, says Daniel Slattery, a Reed Smith partner who has served as a pro bono lawyer for the The Trust for Public Land’s Chicago office for 15 years and now sits on its advisory board. “It is an ethical obligation of all lawyers to provide pro bono legal services, especially for those in need,” Slattery explains. “TPL’s mission aligns with Reed Smith’s corporate responsibility credo—to help people, particularly people in underserved communities.” Jim Mogan, a Reed Smith partner based in the
firm’s Philadelphia office, agrees. “When Dan Slattery asked if I would be interested in helping TPL on a land preservation project in New Jersey,

I jumped at the chance, dove in, and have not looked back,” says Mogan, pictured at left. “Living in New Jersey, one of the most densely populated states, and having a chance to assist in the preservation of land here was a big draw in getting involved with TPL.” Mogan is currently assisting TPL on several projects. They include preserving from future development more than 300 acres of land in New Jersey’s Pinelands National Preserve and supporting TPL’s public-private partnership with the city of Philadelphia to add 500 acres of new, publicly
accessible green space to the city by 2015. “It has been exciting to help further TPL’s mis- sion of providing Philadelphia residents, especially children, with access to more green spaces in which to play, exercise, and be creative,” Mogan says. “Provid- ing access to more sustainable spaces is crucial to promoting a healthier lifestyle and better quality of life for all residents of Philadelphia and beyond.”
