SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & WEIL FOUNDATION: YEAR IN REVIEW 2025 CHIKA AMENE Associate, Technology & IP Transactions, Silicon Valley “Before joining Weil, I volunteered weekly at the SF Marin Food Bank as a law student, and that experience made community service a meaningful part of my life. Being able to continue that work through VTO, with the support of the Firm, means so much to me. It’s incredibly meaningful to give back to the community I live in, and I’m grateful Weil makes space for that.” VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 83 82 STEPHANOS KOTSAKIS Associate Director, Global Voice & Data Networking, IS Architecture New York “There is no other human deed more precious than helping thy neighbor. I feel honored to work in an organization that encourages the fulfillment of this noble deed. I used my VTO to volunteer at St. Joseph Social Service Center, and that was the most meaningful day in the year for me.” LYNN MURRAY Manager, Research & Information Center Dallas “I volunteer at a local community food bank that is operated completely by volunteers. It supports over 600 low-income families every week, many of whom are immigrants and refugees. Seeing the clients’ gratitude and resilience broadens my perspective and working with dedicated and passionate volunteers inspires me to continue supporting vulnerable communities.” At Weil, service is woven into the way we show up - for our colleagues, our communities and the causes that matter most to us. Our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program reflects that commitment by giving full-time administrative staff and attorneys in our U.S. offices the opportunity to spend one paid day – or two half days – each year volunteering with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of their choice. Throughout the year, Weil volunteers used this time to step beyond their daily roles and make a tangible impact. From supporting organizations they are deeply passionate about to lending a hand where help was most needed, our attorneys and staff brought the same care, energy and dedication to their volunteer work as they do to everything else.
