Pro Bono & Community Engagement

At Bercow Radell Fernandez Larkin & Tapanes, we are proud to serve the public good through pro bono legal work that aligns with our core values of equity, community, and access to opportunity. Our attorneys contribute their time and expertise to nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, faith-based communities, and cultural institutions, providing guidance on land use, zoning, permitting, and regulatory matters that are critical to their missions.

We believe that strengthening our community starts with service—and our pro bono work reflects a deep commitment to supporting the people and places that make South Florida vibrant and inclusive.

 

Featured Pro Bono Matters

The WOW Center

We provided zoning, subdivision, and permitting assistance for a new 21,957-square-foot facility that will allow The WOW Center to double its capacity to serve adults with developmental disabilities. The expanded center will include classrooms, training areas, and offices that promote independence and personal development

 

Pelican Harbor Seabird Station

Our team supported the development of a new wildlife hospital and rehabilitation center on a 2.63-acre archaeological site.
