Washington, D.C. – In celebration of the National Celebration of Pro Bono (October 19–25, 2025), Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) is proud to recognize Clean Energy Counsel (CEC) as a recipient of the 2025 Outstanding Pro Bono Partner Award.
Clean Energy Counsel has been a dedicated partner to L4GG for more than seven years, providing expert legal guidance and strategic support across a wide range of initiatives — from climate and environmental justice to civil rights and access to legal information. The firm’s attorneys combine subject-matter expertise with a mission-driven commitment to strengthening the rule of law and advancing equity through their pro bono service.
““Clean Energy Counsel’s partnership with L4GG has been remarkable not only for its longevity but for its impact,” said Lauren Worsek, L4GG’s Director of Pro Bono Initiatives. “Their attorneys have consistently shown that pro bono work is about more than providing legal assistance — it’s about using expertise to empower communities, protect rights, and make lasting change. We are so proud to honor them this year.”

Clean Energy Counsel’s long-standing collaboration with L4GG has included projects that expand access to reliable legal resources and strengthen community resilience in the face of complex policy and environmental challenges. Their work reflects a shared belief that pro bono lawyering can be both deeply technical and profoundly human — serving people while advancing justice.
“Working with L4GG has allowed our attorneys to use their skills in ways that have real, measurable impact,” said Emily Hager, Attorney at Clean Energy Counsel. “Whether it’s helping communities navigate climate and environmental programs or contributing to efforts that make the law clearer and more accessible, our team is proud to be part of work that makes a difference at scale.”
